The PD should be appropriately empowered to make progress between meetings of the Board, take decisions and negotiate within delegated parameters set by the Board. The PD should regularly report to the Board on all matters relating to the project including budget, risk management, resources and progress against programme, and on key issues such as project documentation, evaluation criteria and progress during the various stages of the Competitive Dialogue.
The PD should liaise with the SRO on a regular basis to keep the SRO up to date on issues relating to the Project and to seek guidance on strategic issues which do not fall within the Authority or the Board.
