The Procuring Authority considers its resources and set-up as adequate for the project, once the major project office was in place to enable it to fully meet its obligations. A general engineering consultant was engaged immediately after financial close and provided support for the design approvals and monitoring of the construction progress. The Procuring Authority also received some financial advisory support from third party consultants prior to financial close and during contract development.

On two subsequent projects, the Procuring Authority did not appoint a general engineering consultant after financial close. On these subsequent PPP projects, the Procuring Authority has been able to procure an engineering monitoring team during the procurement phase, to assist in the development of the project contract and documents and to then continue to assist the Procuring Authority in administering the contract through design and construction.

The majority of training for the Procuring Authority staff was delivered on the job.
