IN THE REVIEWER'S SHOES

Ask yourself, does this section of your business case answer the following questions:

•  Did the process used to identify, quantitatively assess, and allocate project risks reflect best practices and include the expertise necessary to conduct such an exercise effectively?

•  Is the rationale underlying the risk allocation clear? Is it linked to discussions had during market soundings, jurisdictional analyses or the sponsors project and procurement objectives?

•  Has appropriate professional expertise (technical, legal, financial) been consulted? (PPP Canada's expectation is that expertise will have been consulted and involved in the project).

•  Is the risk allocation appropriate for the project delivery model and commercially reasonable?
