4.2.3 Preparation for the long term management of the PPP provider has to begin right at the beginning of the project, i.e. at the procurement phase. Specifically, this means that the GPE should amongst others:
a) Get the PPP contract right, i.e. it should be balanced, robust and sustainable;
b) Involve its own staff who will be managing the PPP contract in the procurement process as early as possible; and
c) Ensure that the personnel who will actually be managing the PPP contract on behalf of the PPP provider are involved in the procurement process.
