3.2.2  Options Assessment

Prior to scoping the project and deciding the Method of Procurement (detailed in Section 3.2.2 - PPP Options Analysis), the Government Entity should evaluate the possible technical and commercial solutions to address the need the project is aiming to solve. With the assistance of the Technical Advisor, the PPP Project Team should:

  List all the available technical, financial, and legal options available to meet the project objectives - for example, for a waste management project, landfill, incinerations, recycling, and waste-to-energy solutions should be considered, whereas for a hospitals project, varying options such as strategic partnership with existing private hospitals, differential insurance coverage for the target population, capitulation fees should be considered ;

  List the evaluation criteria for the options (strategic, technical, financial, legal, environmental, ease of implementation, and suitability of technology to Dubai);

  Evaluate the options against the criteria; and,

  Recommend the preferred option, which will determine the basis for the scoping and the rest of the feasibility analysis.
