4.2.4 During this phase, the GPE's primary focus should be to monitor the PPP provider's progress towards meeting the service commencement date. The contract manager should do no more than monitor the PPP provider's implementation procedures to ensure that it would be able to deliver the services on time. This may involve inspecting and commenting on plans, having access to the site, confirming compliance with procedures and agreeing with the PPP provider that it is able to commence service delivery as per the stipulated schedule. However, there must be a clear limit to the extent of the GPE's responsibilities as involvement to a greater extent than is appropriate for monitoring purposes may lead to the GPE taking back the risks (such as construction risks) which it has paid already to the PPP provider to bear under the PPP unitary payment mechanism.
4.2.5 The contract manager should only require sufficient management information from the PPP provider to retain confidence in the delivery timetable and to ensure compliance with any residual safety issues remaining with the GPE.
