- End of concession audits. To assess the level of risk to the state, PT11 explains that asset inspections get commissioned by the public partner prior to concession expiry date (perhaps five years before termination, depending on how contracts are structured) and then periodically (perhaps at six monthly intervals after that), until handover is complete. The aim of this process is to give assurance that government will receive the asset in agreed condition or provide a basis to consider and then implement a preferred option if requirements are not being / are unlikely to be met.
- Withhold payment for under-performance / non-performance. In connection with the above treatment, withholding payment through applying the contractual mechanisms, designed to deter the private partner from transferring assets at contractual close that fail to meet agreed schedules of maintenance and repair can be effective (PT11). Depending on circumstances, financial penalties can be applied by the public partner to meet the expense of refurbishing the asset to its agreed handover condition plus associated costs.
