520 _aDiscusses prime contracting - an application of the partnering concept between the prime contractor and the supply chain. Describes the experiences of the Ministry of Defence, which has pioneered prime contracting as a form of procurement. Explains how the prime contractor takes responsibility for almost all aspects of the project. However, he only actually carries out a small proportion of the work himself. Most of this is done by his supply chain. Thus the core skill of a prime contractor is to manage the supply chain. Suggests that prime contracting can generoulsy award those who achieve their objectives.
