Primary responsibility for the construction and use of the PSC rests with the Procuring Agency, in particular the development of the output specification and Reference Project.
The construction of a PSC requires a high level of specialist skills that will generally require the engagement of external expert advisers. The PSC construction process should be methodical and rational through the proper and systematic recording of cost and risk material throughout the stages of PSC development. Specifically, the Procuring Agency should maintain adequate documented evidence to support all costings and calculations for the PSC approved by government. For a set of Frequently Asked Questions and Common Problems regarding the PSC please refer to Annexure 6.
