supply chains, thereby improving both efficiencies and value creation. However, in widely
practiced traditional procurement modes. transactional forces are still complex and short-sighted,
resulting in weak collaborative supply chain networks, while potentially beneficial relational forces
remain untapped and/or fragmented, lacking well-defined common goals among stakeholders.
RIVANS have been proposed to provide a holistic conceptual framework for relational integration
towards the concept to all stakeholders in the built asset lifecycle, by engaging them in cross linked
value networks. The ultimate goal is for sustainable procurement through RIVANS, by developing
collaborating practices and overall value focus across the entire network and through the whole
built asset life cycle. A questionnaire survey was carried out to elicit relevant opinions from
industry professionals. The survey led to identifying eight potential synergies/beller values by
linking supply chains in Infrastructure Project Management (IPM) with Infrastructure Asset
Management (lAM). Functional and relational integration were identified as an appropriate
mechanism to achieving value through integration. The degree of importance of eleven common
goals was identified in achieving 'better value ', The key stakeholders of D&C and O&M value
networks were also identified.
