■ A number of recommendations have been made to optimise VfM at both WOG and alliance level.
■ They will improve the quality of the investment decision, optimise the appropriate use of alliancing, increase government's buying power, increase transaction efficiency, increase technical and commercial innovation and allow for best practice to be captured and disseminated.
■ If all of these recommendations are adopted, the AOCs of alliance projects could, in the judgement of the Research Team, be improved by 5-15% without diminishing the many benefits that alliances are capable of providing.
