Appointed party

Current

Also: Task team, Delivery team

A provider of information — a consultant, subcontractor or supplier — appointed by a lead appointed party, usually organised into a task team.

Explanation

Each appointed party (or task team) produces information according to the Exchange information requirements it receives from its lead appointed party, plans its deliverables in a Task information delivery plan and works within the project Common data environment. The lead appointed party and all its appointed parties together form a delivery team.

Practical example

The sprinkler subcontractor is an appointed party; its modellers and engineers form a task team responsible for the fire-protection model.

Why it matters

Clear role terms make it obvious which requirements flow to which subcontract.
