The approach from the Procuring Authority in terms of giving the Project Company a head start on enabling works outside the PPP contract ensured a smooth transition from financial close to construction. Both the Procuring Authority's team and the Project Company's team were strengthened after financial close with new staff being brought in to manage the project. The Procuring Authority's team was staffed with local experts and had extensive experience covering design, major programmes management and contract management. Contract management training was also provided to new staff after financial close.
