If bond financing is under consideration, the Contracting Authority should ensure it engages legal and financial advisers with the requisite experience in project bonds (as well as other financing options) as early as possible. Such advice will be essential in assessing suitability of financing, formulating bid requirements, evaluating bids, assessing pricing and deliverability, reviewing the relevant financing documents and understanding how the bond financing impacts the PPP Contract provisions and mechanics. As flagged in Section 4.2.2, Termination Payments, understanding the relevant agreements is also key to limiting the Contracting Authority's liability under any compensation provisions linked to the financing documents.
