3.1.2 PPP projects are complex and span over long durations. It is therefore critical that the PPP provider is carefully chosen, so that it can deliver on its commitments and work well with the Government Procuring Entity (GPE) throughout the entire duration of the partnership.

Hence, the selection process should aim at minimizing the complexity, duration and costs to both parties, while facilitating strong competition for the GPE to obtain the best value for money for the PPP.
