How procurement design, professional fee structures, and cost escalation undermine delivery — even in well-funded projects.

Who Should Attend

Every session will be honoured by the presence and participation of;

  • Municipal planners, housing officials, and infrastructure managers
  • Public sector decision-makers and policy practitioners
  • Emerging and established property developers
  • DFIs, commercial banks, fund managers, and impact investors
  • Built-environment professionals (planners, engineers, architects, QSs)
  • Procurement, project management, and delivery professionals
  • NGOs, development agencies, and social impact practitioners
  • Community leaders and delivery intermediaries involved in housing and infrastructure

    • This series is designed for practitioners responsible for turning plans, policies, and capital into real, delivered outcomes.

    What You’ll Walk Away With

  • How procurement frameworks shape delivery outcomes
  • Understanding where value leakage occurs within project lifecycles
  • The impact of fee structures on collaboration and accountability
  • Why compliance-driven procurement often undermines execution
  • Alternative procurement principles that support delivery efficiency

    • Procurement frameworks and fee models are often inherited without scrutiny, yet they significantly shape delivery outcomes. This session examines how misaligned procurement processes fragment accountability, slow timelines, and create cost leakage.

    Participants will explore alternative approaches that better align incentives, collaboration, and execution performance.
