6.4  Selecting the NOPs

The previous Section 6.3 has discussed the approach taken to selecting the NOPs and the characteristics for choosing an alliance during the procurement strategy. Once these decisions have been made, the expectation is that NOPs are then selected based on their potential to optimise VfM. This section therefore discusses the:

•  Non-price criteria for selecting NOPs.

•  Early commencement of a project through early involvement of the NOPs.
