Physical resources should be supplied to the alliance by the Participants on a best-for-project basis. It is likely that in some instances, the highest level of value against the Owner's VfM Statement will be achieved by the Owner providing these resources. Examples include:
• The Owner may be able to obtain the best terms and conditions for the provision of specialist materials due to pre-existing government supply agreements (e.g. existing agreements for the provision of turn-outs for a rail alliance).
• The Owner may have a specialist piece of equipment that is available and can be supplied to the alliance at a better than market rate (e.g. ballast tamping machines).
• The Owner may have vacant offices that the alliance can use at minimal cost.
