Proceed as PPPs

  Ensure an efficient procurement process, which adheres to the projected Timelines;

  Ensure that the financial and technical objectives of the project, as set out and approved in the initiation and preparation stages of the project, are met entirely during the procurement stage;

  Make certain that the procurement process is carried out in a shared manner, and functions as a true partnership between the public and private sectors, with the appropriate Risk Allocation as set out in the initiation stage between the involved government and private parties;

  Have an adequate and transparent evaluation process in order to ensure that appropriately qualified Bidders are chosen as Preferred Bidder(s) and that unsuccessful participants retain trust in the integrity of the procedure;

  Ensure that high-quality Bidders remain interested in the project and are not deterred by unexpected regulatory changes or approval requirements; and,

  Ensure that the lowest price is not the only decision-making criteria, and that appropriate consideration is given to technical competence, innovation, Emiratisation, and knowledge transfer aspects of the proposed private partner's solution.
