Owner's team that participates in the TOC development must monitor and understand the structure, elements, assumptions, productivity calculations and rates that are included in the TOC by being actively involved in its development from the start, irrespective of the level of competition. They must participate in an informed manner in all review and approval processes throughout the TOC development phase.
Owner's team should avail themselves of appropriate support and expertise including the OCT, the Owner's Estimator and other advice required to be satisfied that VfM is being achieved and will be achieved through the delivery phase. This is particularly important in the partial and non-competitive processes.
