The Project Summary should use plain English language and be succinct. The level of detail required will vary on a case-by-case basis, however it should not be excessive. High-level statements of general principles may be used to summarise those aspects of the contract which are typical or usual. However, detail regarding any bespoke provisions specific to the project should be provided. The Project Summary must be self-contained, and include all information required by the NSW PPP Guidelines without the use of cross-referencing to other information which may be hyperlinked to or from the summary.
The Project Summary will have two distinct parts:
■ Project Overview, including a summary and rationale for the project background, its value and the parties involved
■ Key Commercial and Contractual Features which summarise the key aspects of the Project Contracts.
As a guide, Project Summaries should generally include information on the following aspects. However, it is recognised that each project is unique and it may sometimes be appropriate to re-order or re-categorise information to ensure the Project Summary is simple to read and logical in its presentation.
