Figures 9.2 and 9.3 together present the supplier utilisation model,
used to assess each contractor and their relative exposure across the
programme. Based on Figure 9.3, the report on the above hypothetical
programme would show that Contractor A has been awarded one project
(Project 1) and is currently tendering a further three projects across the
programme (Projects 3, 4 and 5). If they were awarded all of the projects
they are currently tendering, on the basis of the information in Table
9.1, their utilisation would not pose a risk of overexposure, as they have
the notional capacity to deliver all four projects. The peak programme
utilisation for Supplier 1 would occur in year 2, when it reaches between
20 and 25 per cent of their previous year's turnover.
Similarly, Contractor B has yet to be awarded any projects on the
programme but, according to Figure 9.3, is currently tendering for three
projects (Projects 3, 4 and 5). If they were to win all the projects they
are currently tendering, the peak utilisation would occur in year 2, when
it would be expected to exceed 45 per cent of their most recently pub-
lished turnover.
