  Has a scope of work for the Transaction Advisor been prepared that details the functions the Advisor will be expected to perform after being hired?

  Is there clarity - both within the Government Entity and with the Transaction Advisor - regarding the budget for the fees, remuneration system, payment schedule, and disbursement arrangements that will be utilised?

  Are prospective Bidders aware of submission rules and associated code of conduct expected of Transaction Advisors regarding matters such as conflict of interest, for example?

  Has a Point of Contact been designated at the Government Entity to receive and answer queries following the advertisement, to coordinate briefing sessions with prospective Bidders, to receive and store the technical and financial proposals from Bidders, and to evaluate the bids?

  Does the Government Entity in question have a version of a draft contract to be circulated to prospective Bidders that can then incorporate prospective changes following review by the winning Bidder to serve as the contractual agreement?
