roles' requirements, set out very clearly the obligations for all staff to
comply with the ODA procurement code (the codified process for pro-
curement). The ODA procurement code was developed as part of the
PSE process and is described later in Chapter 7. The procurement code
was based on similar procedures and working instructions from within
other safety-critical industries, including rail and petrochemical. The
purpose of the code was to make responsibilities during the buying
process completely transparent and unambiguous. The codification also
facilitated clear lines of reporting and communication. The benefits of
an integrated team, consisting of the CLM Delivery Partner and the
ODA project sponsors (who held responsibility for the project), included
encouraging people to work together in order to generate the informa-
tion required to satisfy the gateways within the process. The emphasis
on team integration encouraged a more cooperative working environ-
ment and a greater sense of ownership within the project teams than
might have been achieved in a more formalised client-and-supplier
relationship.
