The Delivery Requirements define the scope of the Project. Accordingly, they must be unambiguous, well drafted and consistent with the other parts of the Project Deed. Poorly structured and drafted PSDRs are fertile ground for Modifications and extension of time claims and undermine the risk transfer which is fundamental to an Availability PPP project.
Procuring agencies should ensure they have allowed for the review of the PSDR for clarity, enforceability and consistency with the other parts of the Project Deed prior to release of the RFP.
