Project reviews

A post-implementation review may be undertaken on a PPP project to evaluate project outcomes against the expectations set out in the business case. A post implementation review aims to measure the learnings and benefits of a project using a consistent measurement framework. A post implementation review can be a valuable tool in refining the processes used in developing private sector infrastructure projects. Outcomes of the review can also be fed into service planning to ensure lessons learnt assist future planning. A post implementation review will normally be undertaken jointly by the agency initiating the project and the relevant PPP authority.

A post-implementation review may be conducted internally via a lessons learned workshop involving the project team and key advisers. It is also useful to incorporate any bidder feedback arising from a debrief process. The post implementation review is an internal project assurance for the Procuring Agency.

A review may also be conducted by an independent party. Some jurisdictions may conduct a post implementation review through jurisdiction specific Gateway Review Processes. This usually involves an external peer review to check a project has delivered its intended outputs and benefits. The review may be repeated throughout the life of the service contract.
