DATA CAPTURE FOR EACH PROJECT - Background

The data capture templates seek to collect information for both Traditional procurement and PPP projects in respect to cost, time and risk data, as well as some data on scope cost impacts and value for money. These notes are intended to assist those collecting project data by providing explanations and definitions of the data sought.

Information collection will be an ongoing process. Data should be input at each milestone point throughout the project. The information, once complete, will be displayed by project sector and size. The information will be used for research purposes to identify trends in infrastructure project delivery.

Data sought in the templates include:

-  cost information for capital costs and Net Present Value (NPV) cost;

-  risk information, particularly the portion of risk retained or transferred;

-  major cost impacts including scope changes on the project;

-  time information relating to scheduled milestone dates for the project; and

-  Value for Money (VFM) measurements or perception.
