The objective of the data collection on 250 projects was to ensure:
• Robust identification of issues faced on the projects as part of the Procuring Authority team set up and stakeholder management, routine contract management and non-routine contract management.
• A global representation of sector and region-specific trends and issues faced during PPP contract management.
• The prevalence and timing of issues faced during contract management.
• An insight into key events that had a notable impact on the project and underlying causes of these events.
• An insight into overall performance of the projects.
To meet the objectives of the data collection, 250 projects had to be randomly selected from an overall database containing all relevant PPP projects. This process adopted for the data collection exercise is set out below.
