This chapter discusses some key activities related to implementing PPPs. The discussion focuses on the bid package, the contract, the procurement evaluation and process, and the award and negotiation. Not every stage of the procurement process is described in detail; highlights are discussed and more information is available through the resource materials listed in chapter 10. The PPP Project Sequence is outlined in Figure 2 (see page 15). Note that not all steps are strictly sequential, but have a degree of overlap.
