8.6  Relevant PPP Authority

The relevant PPP authority will be the focal point for economic and financial assessment and advice on all PPPs and will assist government agencies more generally. It will ensure application of these Guidelines.

The relevant PPP authority will also promote best-practice PPPs by absorbing and disseminating the lessons of experience and consulting with other governments on their experiences and practices.

The relevant PPP authority should be consulted early in the development of a PPP proposal. It will normally draw on expertise from across the public sector and seek advice of private sector consultants when required.
