Summary
The procurement strategy selected for a particular project will depend on a number of criteria: the client body, the project type and size, the time available, the cost certainty required and the responsibility for design.

The procurement strategy forms the fundamental implementation of the project and defines the interfaces and relationships between the participants; it is a key ingredient in a successful project.
