4.3  Key phases in the delivery of PPPs

Following government approval of a PPP project, the process that a procuring agency should implement is set out in detail in the Practitioners' Guide.

Most projects will progress through the process outlined in the Practitioners' Guide, for consistency both in government processes and in how projects are put to the market. However, there may be circumstances in which government decides that a project is to be developed through a different process. In such cases, it is important to ensure that all interested parties, particularly private parties, are made aware of the variation and that the varied process is clearly communicated and maintained.

This section provides an outline of the process of delivering a PPP project, and figure 3 sets out the key phases involved.
