Partnerships BC's disclosure practices are a matter of public record, and these practices help the organization achieve public support for specific projects, and for the public private partnership model overall.
A consistent approach to disclosure also provides certainty for proponents. Decisions about disclosure practices should be made at the earliest stages of a project. Private sector participants in public procurement processes should be made aware of government's open approach. Setting disclosure guidelines at the beginning of a process helps establish ground rules and provides certainty to prospective private sector partners. For example, disclosure guidelines or policies can be included, or referenced, in early stages such as Requests for Qualifications, and should definitely be included or referenced in Requests for Proposals and subsequent information to proponents.
