Learning Objectives:
To define and develop a PPP contract solution and tender process that best fits with the specific features of the project contract so as to protect and if possible, optimize VfM (Value for Money).
- Tasks :
- Define the final structure of the project contract (financial stucturing, risk allocation and structuring, payment mechanism definition) and outline the contract;
- Finalize due diligence and preparation (finalizing the preparation tasks started in the Appraisal Phase);
- Re-assess or confirm previous analysis if needed (economic, financial, commercial – potentially including new market testing, and updating the PSC and affordability analysis);
- Finalize the reference design, technical requirements and output specifications;
- Define other business terms and contract structure matters (especially implementing contract management strategy and tools);
- Structure and draft the RFQ: defining the qualification criteria;
- Structure and draft the RFP: defining the proposal requirements and
- evaluation criteria (and regulations for the dialogue or interactive phase, when the tender process is of this type, or negotiation procedures when negotiations are allowed); and
- Finalize the draft contract for issuing with the RFP
