Members in a range of professional service roles will have been following developments around the recent collapse of the construction giant Carillion. AUDE and BUFDG are supporting colleagues from HEFCE in providing insight from the sector, but this has implications as well for colleagues from HR, Procurement, and other professional services.
There are many potential implications for universities, not only for incomplete construction projects, but for outsourced workers, LGPS liabilities, supply chains and subcontractors, future construction and tender pricing, and more.
There’s a thread on the AUDE website that is open to comment from colleagues from all of the above (a perk of being part of the Professional HE Services shared service), which contains a number of useful links. Jane White (AUDE) is coordinating and will pick up replies to the thread – if you do post, please make it clear if the information is to be kept confidential or anonymous.
