Price
Value-based contracting
Pricing reflects outcomes such as uptime (targeting 99.9%), safety (industry programs cut recordable incidents ~30%) and lifecycle cost savings (predictive maintenance reduces costs 10–40%). Proposals link cost to measurable KPIs and SLAs (availability, MTBF) with fee adjustment tied to performance. Higher-value features are justified through risk reduction and performance gains (downtime cut up to 50%). Benchmarks from tenders set competitive, credible rates, often a 5–12% premium.
Diverse contract forms
Downer offers lump-sum EPC, schedule-of-rates, cost-plus and alliance models, tailoring contract choice to project complexity, risk and funding profile. Long-term O&M and facilities contracts provide predictable fee streams and underpinned recurring revenue; Downer reported FY2024 revenue of AUD 8.5bn and a robust services backlog. PPP and performance-based arrangements align incentives through availability and KPI-linked payments. Contract mix reduces risk concentration and matches client funding structures.
Escalation and indexation
Downer contracts incorporate CPI, labour and materials indices—ABS CPI year to June 2024 3.9% and ABS Wage Price Index March 2024 3.6%—to manage inflation across multi-year terms. Adjustment formulas with indexation and agreed triggers and caps (commonly 0–5% annual caps) protect both parties and provide budget certainty. Transparent indexation mechanisms and reporting support governance approvals and auditability.
Risk allocation and premiums
Pricing reflects retained versus transferred risk through warranties and liquidated damages, with contingencies scaled to project complexity and schedule exposure to protect margins.
Collaborative contracting and shared-risk models have reduced premium loadings and claim frequency in recent years, while early contractor involvement consistently lowers uncertainty and overall cost.
- risk allocation: warranties, LDs
- contingencies: calibrated to complexity/schedule
- collaboration: shared risk cuts premiums
- ECI: reduces uncertainty and cost
Incentives and efficiencies
Downer aligns outcomes through gainshare models (up to 10% of project value), schedule-acceleration premiums (typically 3–5%), and energy-saving guarantees (commonly 8–12%), converting efficiency improvements into shared financial upside and measurable OPEX reductions.
- Gainshare: up to 10% incentive
- Schedule: 3–5% acceleration premium
- Volume: multi-asset discounts reward scale
- Standardization: offsite fabrication reduces cost
- SLA tiers: price vs responsiveness trade-offs
Pricing: 99.9% uptime, ~30% safety cut, 10-40% lifecycle savings
