If corporate financing is an option, the Contracting Authority should (as with any form of financing under consideration) ensure it has engaged legal and financial advisers with relevant expertise as early as possible in the procurement process. Specialist advice will be needed in relation to formulating bid requirements, evaluating bids and assessing how the corporate financing impacts the PPP Contract provisions and mechanics. Understanding the overall contractual structure will also be key in formulating any compensation provisions and limiting the Contracting Authority's liability under the PPP Contract appropriately.
