Taylor Wimpey plc

Department Function The central Commercial function offers guidance and assistance to the wider business to ensure commercial teams identify and develop business opportunities, and the profitable management of projects and contracts, from inception to completion. Managing both internal and external relationships is key, and the subcontractor database is vital to the successful delivery of our sites and products. Working in collaboration with all other functions is vital, as each has an overall input in the budget and deliverability of each site that we either bid on or produce. Commercials’ early involvement in land includes appraising all risk, opportunity, cost and revenue, producing LPE’s, PLA’s and SIT’s. Guidance, structure and systems are in place to ensure a smooth and timely tendering process, which ultimately results in the awarding of contracts for all elements of the budget. The consistency and visibility of reporting that drives the deliverability and success of the sites is evident through the CVR process, which the Commercial teams manage on a bi-monthly basis.
