New appointment

Landsec has appointed Sir Robert McAlpine as its main contractor to deliver 21 Moorfields, using a new collaborative approach to construction partner selection.

To ensure maximum efficiency on this complex development, Landsec has trialed an enhanced procurement process, focused on collaboration and team-fit to find the most suitable supplier to take on the construction challenge.

Behavioural assessment, more commonly used in the public sector, aims to help clients and supply partners achieve better outcomes together. Landsec worked with potential contractors in workshops where project teams were interviewed and observed on their collaborative working, communication and problem-solving skills.

Following the assessment process, Landsec selected leading UK construction and engineering company Sir Robert McAlpine as its main contractor. Landsec has previously worked with McAlpine on its London development 62 Buckingham Gate.

Beth West, Head of Development, London at Landsec commented:
“For a build of this size and complexity to be a success it requires not only the highest level of construction expertise, but also a culture where challenges can be discussed openly, tackled and overcome together.

“How we select and work with our supply chain mirrors our customer approach of partnership and collaboration. Sir Robert McAlpine joining us to work on the transformation of the Moorgate area is reflective of the high ambitions we have for the scheme.”

Paul Heather, Regional Managing Director at Sir Robert McAlpine added:
“We’re incredibly pleased to be appointed to deliver this exceptional project with Landsec. We look forward to deploying our technical excellence to overcome any complexities in the project and continuing our work in the capital.”
