16.2.3  Attendees

•  Senior representatives of the project team should conduct the debrief, with the same project team members present for each debrief session. The session should be chaired by the Project Director. The number of participants should be limited to the few project team members involved in the evaluation as these participants will have sufficient understanding of the commercial, design and technical aspects of the bids to provide targeted and knowledgeable feedback. It is important for participants to adequately prepare debriefing notes.

•  Other attendees may include an advisor or consultant where appropriate (e.g. commercial advisor or Probity Practitioner). It is desirable to have a Treasury or PPP policy representative present at the meeting to capture any lessons to share with future PPP transactions, and to actively contribute to any discussion on both generic PPP policy and project finance issues.

•  It is at the discretion of the bidder who attends the debrief with the likely participants being the core bidding members.
