As can be seen from the above sections, the Change processes in PPP contracts can be complex and time consuming. Add to that the potential technical complexity when considering what may be new technology, and this is likely to be over and above the skill set available within an Authority's contract management team. Consequently, consideration should be given to putting in place a specialist team to deal with, initially, the assessment of the technical opportunities that may be available and then to be focused specifically on the management and implementation of any formal changes required under the contract. Where an Authority does not already have in-house technical or contractual expertise, consideration to procuring this from external sources will be necessary.
