5.4.1 Comparison of sequencing in the various selection options

Figure 5.2 compares the three selection processes with a more traditional D&C selection process. The diagram shows the progression to select the Preferred Proponent in each selection process, which is broadly similar except for the Non-price process where the Preferred Proponent is selected without a competitive Alliance Development Phase.

57 This diagram illustrates the relative timing from EOI and short listing through to project delivery. The exclusive nature of the non-price selection process means that a compromised or expedited approach can be taken to the preparation of tender documents prior to calling EOIs. Note that durations and times are indicative only and will vary depending on project circumstances, approvals and complexity.
