The engagement lifecycle

How the engagement moves through delivery.

  1. 01

    Form

    Bring the authority into the delivery record

    After the authorised procurement, the award, scope, budget, delegations, declared conflicts and public register duties sit beside the works obligations accepted by the parties.

    What stays connected

    Decision source, delegate, conflict record, agreement duty and disclosure date.

  2. 02

    Mobilise

    Coordinate site and community prerequisites

    Design, site access, utility interfaces, community communication and provider submissions are sequenced. Each prerequisite has an owner and evidence requirement.

    What stays connected

    Prerequisite, owner, due date, evidence and affected work.

  3. 03

    Deliver

    Keep public money with verified work

    The provider submits claims and evidence; the authorised other party certifies. GST basis, grant conditions, budget position and community commitments remain connected to delivery.

    What stays connected

    Claim, authorised certification, GST basis, grant evidence and budget effect.

  4. 04

    Change

    Make cumulative variation risk visible

    An unforeseen drainage condition records need, options, quote, authority, cumulative budget effect and programme consequence before acceptance. Related disclosure duties are raised for council action.

    What stays connected

    Variation reason, alternatives, approver, cumulative value, dates and disclosure duty.

  5. 05

    Explain

    Prepare a lawful public record

    Decision and evidence packs can support audit or GIPA work. Council officers remain responsible for publication, consultation, exemptions, redaction and access decisions.

    What stays connected

    Requested issue, source records, decision owner, deadline and lawful treatment.

  6. 06

    Close

    Complete the asset and funding record

    Asset data, completion evidence, defects, final account, grant acquittal inputs and provider assessment are resolved before the engagement is archived.

    What stays connected

    Asset handover, defects, final money, grant evidence and provider assessment.
