5.1.1  Background

Due to the long-term nature, and high dollar-value, of a Public Private Partnership (PPP) contract, it is important that the value for money assessment, as well as the procurement process, is conducted effectively, and in line with relevant rules, policies and guidelines.

This provides assurance that a rigorous assessment of the private sector bids has occurred, and that the process to appoint the successful bidder is beyond challenge.
