An ex-post evaluation of a TEN-T PPP project can focus on many aspects including, for example, the design and performance of a PPP contract, or an audit of the procurement process. Examples of the type of questions to address when designing and undertaking an ex-post evaluation are:

□ Has agreement been reached on the primary focus of the ex-post evaluation? Is it the behaviour and effectiveness of the public contracting authority; the effectiveness of the procurement method chosen (e.g. competitive dialogue?) including negotiations and contract award; or effectiveness in the performance and management of the TEN-T PPP contract; or all of the above?

□ Have the information needs for ex-post evaluation been identified and included in the TEN-T PPP contract to allow the gathering of adequate information during the performance phase?

□ Have the necessary instructions been given, resources made available and high level support obtained to motivate both the contract management team and the public contracting authority to get the necessary information for an ex-post evaluation assessment?

□ Has a timetable for ex-post evaluation been developed and approved balancing the need of getting useful information quickly to inform current processes and getting meaningful data on performance?
