Developing Performance Specifications Consultation Document, April 2003

Section 2 - The consultation process

Industry's views are sought on the key issues associated with the adoption of performance specifications. It is aimed at the key players of the highways sector -contractors, consultants, local authorities, product manufacturers, materials suppliers, specialist advisers, financial advisors, legal advisors, road users and those with environmental concerns.

This document describes the key issues involved in developing performance specifications and presents a number of strategic options for changing the way the Agency specifies its work.

The Agency seeks the industry's views on the following:

  • How the construction industry can respond to the challenge of meeting performance standards?
  • Whether the options presented in this document offer the best potential to drive performance improvement?
  • Other options that should be considered?
  • What is the best method of implementing the most favoured option?

Your responses and views are sought on the proposals in this document. You are requested to respond specifically to the questions on pages 18 and 19 but any other suggestions that you may have for widening the use of performance specifications are welcomed.

The Agency intends to summarise your replies in a published report without attribution, i.e. removing references that may identify the response with any particular organisation.

Please send your replies and comments to Tony Wittering at the address below by 6 June 2003.
