2.2  Process

P3s will follow a three phase process, as illustrated in Appendix 1, including:

•  Phase 1 - Assessment and Approval (identify possible projects; critically assess high potential projects; obtain Council approval)

•  Phase 2 - Procurement (undertake rigorous competitive process; award contract)

•  Phase 3 - Contract Management (delivery, ongoing performance management and end of contract strategy)

Administration will proceed through procurement and award a contract only upon receipt of all required Council approvals.
