Building Capital’s track record of engagement in major transport infrastructure projects demonstrates an unparalleled degree of focus on the technical and commercial challenges of complex high value projects. Working for the leading operators and service providers throughout Europe, we bring a breadth of expertise and experience that is second to none.

Examples of the services we provide include:

Solution Design and Modelling – major infrastructure projects are invariably unique and technically complex, with many competing technologies providing possible solutions. Our breadth of experience enables us to work with what our clients have, identify what additional technology or services are required, and develop a winning technical and commercial proposition through iterative modelling and refinement of the solution.

Consortium Formation, and Supplier/Subcontractor Selection and Negotiation – our understanding of the proposition and extensive contacts in the industry frequently positions us to be the catalyst in the formation of winning consortiums. Our experience of the product technologies and service providers further enables us to determine the optimum supplier and subcontractor relationships.

Client-Facing Leadership – given the high degree of technical complexity involved in a major project, the client (and their consultants engaged to manage the procurement) demand seasoned and experienced professionals in the client-facing bid team to evaluate and develop the proposition. In each of our project engagements, whether initially engaged to perform this role or not, our people have invariably proven their capabilities.

Risk Assessment and Compliance Testing – complex solutions are only biddable and deliverable if attention is paid to risk management and mitigation. We have been appointed as responsible for managing the risk register for many of our clients, and augmented this with detailed compliance and conformance testing of solutions provided by their suppliers and subcontractors to ensure absolute confidence in the bid proposition.

Trials Management – major procurements are increasingly including a “proof-of-solution” trial into the bid down-selection process. Field trial management is a specialist area for Building Capital, in which we leverage our hands-on experience with the technology and our scientific approach to achieving world class results.

Prototyping and Research Services – where major opportunities call for solutions that aren’t off-the-shelf, we can provide bespoke prototypes for proof-of-solution trials and evaluations. Building Capital’s highly successful Axiom Road User Charging Development Platform is testimony to our capabilities.

For international companies pursuing major bid opportunities in the UK, we also provide the local presence and knowledge to rapidly acquire and equip a bid office with advanced IT systems for converged communications, requirements and content management, together with document production services. Our understanding of UK government procurement practise, gained from both client-facing and client-side engagements, enables our customers to have the highest confidence in a compliant and successful project bid at the RFI, PQQ, ITP and BAFO stages. By focusing our clients on what is required and important, we can achieve significant efficiencies and cost savings.
