You are required to write a report to recommend the best project procurement strategy for a client. You are provided with some information on the proposed scheme in terms of the requirements and constraints to allow an appropriate procurement strategy to be developed.you are required to develop and justify a contracting strategy for key tier $1$ supplier$($s$).$ This includes the following:

$$ Buyer$-$supplier commercial relationship $(10\%),$

$$ Supplier selection$/$tendering method and criteria $(10\%),$

$$ Reimbursement method $(10\%),$

$$ Standard form of contract $(10\%),$

$$ Contract incentives $(10\%)$ you are required to produce a detailed report on design build contract strategy. for the given project scenario $..$granted permission by the Welsh government to develop an offshore wind farm off the coast of South Wales. The project supports local, regional and national energy strategies aiming to create a cleaner, greener, and more prosperous environment. It will help the UK in achieving its net zero target and becoming carbon neutral by $2045.$

The large$-$scale renewable energy generation project aims to deliver up to $150$MW of clean energy and could include up to $50$ wind turbines. The offshore wind farm will be capable of generating and providing renewable electricity equivalent to the needs of around $100,000$ Welsh homes annually.

As the last coal$-$powered power plant in Wales was decommissioned in $2020$ and a few other plants generating electricity from fossil fuel are coming to the end of their useful life by the end of $2025,$ the required offshore wind farm must be operational by this time. To avoid energy shortage and accelerate the country$$s transition to clean energy, the project$$s deliverables must be delivered in a relatively short timescale.

The Client$/$Project requirements

A planning permission has been granted. This is an urgent project, and the client wants to have the facility in operation by the end of $2025.$ The client has the funds made available, but achieving cost certainty is important before committing to the project.

The client does not wish to retain the design risk, and requires the contractor to guarantee operational and performance requirements will be met in time. The contractor must meet the performance specifications including the power generation requirement per wind turbine and the total production capacity of the wind farm. The wind farm must have a minimum design life of $25$ years. The client will operate the wind farm using its own in$-$house resources to supply its customers with clean energy. As the owner and operator of the wind farm, the client will operate the plant using its in$-$house resources throughout its operational life.

The client has hired you as a project management consultant and instructed you to write a report recommending the most appropriate procurement strategy to meet the project$$s objectives using a design build contracting strategy
