Regular monitoring

In order to effectively monitor the project implementation, the PPP company will need to provide the contract management team with operational and financial data on an ongoing basis. The PPP contract, and operation & maintenance agreement, should have set out at least the basic items of information required and the timing. Often, more detail will need to be specified at the start of the contract management phase. The contract management team should request only as much data as is necessary for the effective monitoring (and ex-post evaluation) of the project. Excessive data collection imposes unnecessary burdens on the PPP company and on the public contracting authority<2>

Some examples of the monitoring activities of the contract management team are: <3>,<4>

□  establish and manage the day-to-day relationship with the PPP project company; and

□  report regularly to the stakeholders.
