Cost reimbursable procurement models

The three cost reimbursable procurement models are:

  1. Incentivised Target Cost (ITC) is a model that includes a development phase where the contractor develops a Target Outturn Cost and a delivery phase where the contractor proceeds on an open‑book basis where the State reimburses the contractor for actual incurred costs of performing the works and a percentage for corporate overhead and profit.
  2. Managing Contractor is a model where the delivery agency engages a managing contractor (MC) who is responsible for all aspects of project delivery, including managing the completion of design and construction documentation and tendering and awarding trade packages.
  3. Allianceis a model where the delivery agency and non-owner participants (NOPs), comprising the contractor, designer and other contracted parties work together to design and construct a project.
