Appendix 1: Description of Alternative Procurement Types

Parts of the following sections are drawn from the 'Report of the Waterview Connection Procurement Steering Group' dated 26 June 200821. They describe the main features of the main procurement contract types. These are stylised descriptions - in practice contracts are tailored to the circumstances and a wide variety of variants can therefore be observed. The descriptions are followed by an analysis of the pros and cons of PPPs vs conventional procurement methods.
