Case Study: an Australian state-government entity improves value for money in a major transport project with L.E.K. Consulting

Australian state-government entity evaluates a multi-billion-dollar transport project with LEK Consulting

An Australian state-government entity engaged LEK Consulting to evaluate procurement strategy and contracting options for a multi-billion-dollar transport infrastructure project during its feasibility stage. The challenge was to assess innovative procurement models to achieve better project quality, cost, and schedule outcomes.

LEK Consulting's Major Capital Projects Advisory team worked as non-voting members of the client's committees to develop an innovative development partner concept. They supported the Expression of Interest phase, evaluated proposals, and later conducted an independent, ring-fenced analysis of the major risks inherent in the development model. With LEK Consulting's assistance, the client thoroughly examined and tested a new procurement model designed to improve Value for Money and Whole of Life outcomes by better transferring risk and aligning state and private sector objectives.
