The following chart provides an overview of a typical Alberta government P3 transaction process. The indicative timelines are those for a large, complex P3 project. These timelines will be adjusted depending on the nature of the project and the specific details of the procurement process. The timelines do not include the issuing of a Request for Expression of Interest (REOI). A REOI may be issued during the P3 assessment and approval stage (see Management Framework: Assessment guidelines).

The details of the RFQ and RFP stages are highlighted below.
