ST AT ION

• Experienced technical resources are becoming more scarce

• International competition increasing and new players - (multi-cultural implementation)

• Construction costs are rising – (fixed price / indexed ?)

• More effective planning & procurement required and efficiencies in O&M delivered

• More integrated infrastructure planning and implementation required

• Is Private Sector ready and able to participate

long-term in infrastructure and services provision?

• Are there socio-economic difficulties

in the privatisation of infrastructure and services?

• Is long-term sustainability of infrastructure assured?

Water is an increasingly valuable resource

- and must be used and reused efficiently !

FUTURE TRENDS & ISSUES

• Benefit of engaging independent and experienced Consultants

- Key Client/Consultant relationship during planning & procurement phases

• Agreed level of risk sharing determined in contracts (FIDIC/bespoke)

• Engage the market then use selective procurement

• Need good data to be made available to Tenderers

• Maximise flexibility - but minimise interference

and variations

• Fair payment mechanisms to reflect risk

and uncertainties

• Minimise/eliminate adversarial approach to contracts

Choose Consultants and Contractors by value not cost !
