“Actuate UK fills a gap in understanding the bigger picture of the industry.”
Roadmap toRecovery
This Construction Leadership Council strategy aims to drive the recovery of the construction and built environment sectors, and through them the wider UK economy, following the Covid-19 pandemic and economic downturn. Construction is uniquely placed to drive the national economic recovery. It operates throughout the UK, employs 3.1m workers, and exports billions of pounds of products and services. The strategy aims to increase the level of activity across the construction ecosystem, accelerate the process of industry adjustment to the new normal, and build capacity in the industry to deliver strategic priorities, including: increasing prosperity across the UK; decarbonisation; modernisation through digital and manufacturing technologies; and delivering better, safer buildings. There are 3 phases to the plan, to be delivered over two years: • Restart: Increase output, maximise employment and minimise disruption (0-3 months); • Reset: Drive demand, increase productivity, strengthen capability in the supply chain (3-12 months); and • Reinvent: Transform the industry; deliver better value, collaboration and partnership (12-24 months). This document sets out 14 key policies for how the UK government should assess, procure and deliver public works projects and programmes. It outlines the government’s expectations for how contracting authorities and suppliers, including their supply chains, should engage with each other. TheConstructionPlaybook
