Supply Chain
Definition
In construction, the supply chain refers to the full network of subcontractors, specialist contractors, suppliers, and manufacturers who contribute to the delivery of a project beneath the main contractor. Supply chain management involves identifying, engaging, developing, and managing these relationships across multiple projects.
In construction tendering, this means...
A well-managed supply chain is a GC's competitive advantage. GCs with strong, reliable relationships across key trades can tender and deliver more confidently, price more accurately, and handle risk better. Takshy's subcontractor database is the foundation of a well-organised supply chain, giving GCs a single, structured view of who they work with and how they perform.
