3.1.4 A suitable project team is essential. They should at least include representatives from the following units:
a) Finance;
b) The policy or service unit concerned. E.g. PPP deal for a sports complex should include officers from the sports division;
c) Building development, and estate management;
d) Procurement.
3.1.5 A project director will need to be appointed for each project and be responsible to both drive the project and mobilise the appropriate skills at the required time. It is important that the team be overseen by the senior management of the agency, as such management commitment can help the team better structure the PPP deal to achieve a workable and sustainable PPP contract that meets the needs of the agency over the duration of the contract.
3.1.6 The entire procurement team will need to work with the PPP advisor, if any. While the inputs of the advisor can be useful to the execution of the PPP deal, ultimately, the decisions on the structuring of the PPP contract and the selection of the PPP provider should be made by the public agency, with the relevant inputs from the PPP advisor.
