Principle

All sub-contracts and material sub-sub-contracts must be in an agreed form.  The main construction and operations sub-contracts may not be amended without government consent.  Amendments to other material sub-contracts (including, sub-sub-contracts) which may impact on government's rights, or lessen the ability of the private party to perform its obligations, may not be made without government consent.

The private party is not relieved of any of its obligations and liabilities under the project agreement by sub-contracting the performance of the works or Contracted Services.
