PPPs – Public Sector
FGS works with government departments and other public sector organisations to ensure that Public Private Partnerships (PPP) projects are delivered on budget and on time.
We start by assisting clients in examining the feasibility of the project and the best way to manage the procurement process. This involves assessing the project's nature and scope and investigating different funding options.
Then we guide clients through the tender process and provide a detailed assessment of the bids to ensure that they meet the evaluation criteria and provide an affordable, value-for-money solution.
This is followed by intensive involvement in the negotiation of the contract and ongoing management issues.
