In a PPP project, the PPP Authority's remit starts with project screening and recommending for CCEA approval. Once a project has been proposed by a government agency and ministry, the PPP Authority conducts a project screening due diligence. PPP Authority has in-house expertise to conduct some base line due diligence on the proposed project particularly focusing on the commercial viability. PPP Authority has set out the principles and criterion for project screening and has developed a screening manual along with a project screening committee for this purpose. If a proposed project passes through the screening assessment, the PPP Authority recommends that the project be sent by the ministry for CCEA approval.
After CCEA approval, the implementing agency may approach to PPP Authority for transaction advisory support in which case the PPP Authority can appoint a transaction advisor from its sector specific panel of world class advisors or conducts a new procurement process. Once appointed, the transaction advisor works closely with the agency and the PPP Authority in developing the project, carrying out the feasibility study and supporting the marketing and procurement process.
