A PFI/PPP involves one very long term relationship between the Authority and the Contractor and creates many other stakeholder relationship which have to be managed effectively if the project is be widely regarded as successful project.
In this part of the Guidance Section 6.2 looks at the key aspects of the contractual relationship between the Authority and the Contractor which will be of concern to the Contract Manager on a daily basis. Section 6.3 then summarises some of the more technical contractual provisions in the Contract affecting the relationship. These are less likely to be of relevance but the Contract Manager should still be aware of these provisions and seek support from the Legal Department if he considers there to be an issue. Section 6.4 then considers the non contractual aspects of the relationship between the Authority and the Contractor. Section 6.5 examines the management issues relating to disputes between the Authority and the Contractor. Finally Section 6.6 addresses the management issues relating to relationships between the Authority and other key stakeholders.
