Welcome to this insightful webinar on Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its integration into public procurement. This session aims to shed light on the significance of collaboration and data structuration in the BIM ecosystem.

Key Points Discussed:

1. The Importance of Collaboration and Data Structuration
   • The need for a common structured way to store data, fostering collaboration over individualistic approaches.
   • Highlighting the essence of "open beam," the session focuses on building a collaborative environment through data structuration.
2. Implementing BIM in Public Procurement for Smaller Contracts
   • Addressing the challenge faced by small local authorities, the webinar explores methods to promote BIM adoption in public procurement for smaller contracts.
   • The role of the community of practice is discussed in supporting the uptake of BIM tools, methodologies, and mindset shifts.
3. Moving Beyond Price-Centric Procurement: The Alliance Contract
   • Analyzing the prevalent pricing-based procurement (90% in EU), Estonia's innovative approach is introduced - the Alliance Contract.
   • The contract emphasizes outcomes, quality, and team collaboration, shifting away from traditional cost-centric methods.
4. Incorporating Project Delivery Methods in Public Sector Tender Documents
   • The webinar advocates including project delivery methods in public sector tender documents to promote BIM adoption.
   • Recognizing public procurement as a powerful tool, the session delves into its role in driving BIM demand by clients.
5. Introducing the BIM-Driven Digital Platform
   • In February 2023, a digital platform focused on BIM and public procurement will launch.
   • The platform aims to leverage technological progress brought about by BIM, encouraging collaboration to exploit opportunities.

Join us for an engaging session where experts and practitioners share insights on BIM's transformative potential in public procurement. Let's explore how collaboration, data structuration, and innovative practices can shape the future of construction projects, paving the way for a more efficient and sustainable built environment.
