British Embassy, Germany
It is not only the architecture and layout of the New British Embassy in Berlin that can be depicted as ‘highly innovative’. The procurement method also fits this description.
The first true Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) project in Germany, and the first embassy in the world to be realised under such a model, this exciting building in the heart of the German capital represents many of the real benefits brought by Bilfinger Berger Project Investments (BBPI) procurement methods. Certainly the original concept never envisaged a building becoming so popular that the embassy staff are now obliged to run daily guided tours.
As developer and 100% owner of this €38 million, 30+30 year concession, BBPI pioneered the concept of PPP projects in Germany. Procurement by the BOBPI concept can provide exciting and innovative infrastructure, as well as high functionality and value for money.
