It is in the interest of timely and effective development of project that the public entity performs all the activities mentioned in this module prior to commencement of procurement process. In most cases, it is seen that despite selection of private partner and execution of the project agreement with the private partner; the project fails to see the light of the day. Common reasons attributed to failure of project development are delay in acquisition of land, lack of approvals and permits, inter-Departmental conflict and discontent among stakeholders. The activities mentioned in this module have been culled out and aggregated on the basis of past experience in projects developed under PPP framework. Most of these activities are also required to be fulfilled as conditions precedent mentioned in the MCA for development of National Highways. The public entity may initiate the pre-procurement activities much early in the project development process; however going forward, it must revisit the status such activities from time to time, and strive to complete them prior to commencement of the procurement process.
