1.3  Procurement Model

Guidance note: Outlined in the dot-points in this Section is a high level description of the procurement model which should be updated by Procuring Agencies to reflect any Project-specific requirements.

The procurement approach is further explained in Section 9 (Procurement Approach).

Delete references to any content not required/relevant, for example, removal of references to:

▪  "operations" where the Project is not a full service PPP (i.e. provision of additional ancillary and operational services); and

▪  Returned Works (i.e. works to be completed by Project Co during the Development Phase and progressively handed back to their respective facility owners / operators) where the Project scope does not include Returned Works.

The Project will be procured and delivered as an 'availability based' PPP.  Under this model, Project Co (the party contracted to deliver the Project) will be responsible for:

•  the design, construction and commissioning of the [insert Project asset(s)];

•  [the hand back of Returned Works to respective asset owners/operators;]

•  the [operation and] maintenance of the [insert Project asset(s)];

•  the handover of the [insert Project asset(s)] to the State at the end of the Project term; and

•  the provision of private sector finance for the Project

The Project will be delivered under the Partnerships Victoria Framework and in accordance with:

•  National PPP Policy and Guidelines (October 2015); and

•  Partnerships Victoria Requirements (November 2016).
