The Owner should nominate the physical and human resources (although not necessarily the names of individuals) it proposes to provide during the delivery phase of the alliance project in the tender documents issued to the market (i.e. the RFP). These should be considered by the Proponents in their Project Proposals.
The Owner's human resources should generally be appointed to the alliance on the basis that they are the best people for the job. This approach should apply to the potential candidates from all Participants, and should result in a high-calibre team capable of delivering a successful project that achieves the VfM outcomes required by the Owner.
During the delivery phase, it is preferable for the Owner's team to work completely within the alliance as much as possible, and report to the Owner through the alliance governance structure. This approach should foster the creation of a single, cohesive team with a common focus on the delivery of the project objectives. Due to resource constraints, statutory or corporate requirements, this may not always be possible. However, Owners should seek to minimise the number of non-alliance resources working on alliance activities.
The following resources are likely to be required during the procurement process to fulfil the Owner's roles and responsibilities discussed in section 4.8.2.
