Lesson
Projects with complex technical requirements, such as this one on railway rolling stocks, need to hire a panel of experts to support the project team throughout procurement, supply, and commissioning. The financial closing of this project was delayed due to various reasons related to the complexity of technical specifications and the Bangladesh Railway's (BR) requirements for locomotives.

Lesson
Advance actions are important and effective in mitigating the risk of startup and implementation delays. As part of advance procurement, POWERGRID awarded the largest contract package under this project before loan effectiveness and the originally envisaged major contracts immediately after the loan became effective. It minimized land requirements by ensuring that the transmission lines mainly passed through government-owned land, wasteland, and agricultural and grazing lands and arranged for the timely issuance of forest clearances.

Lesson
It is critical for executing agencies to enhance their procurement capacity to ensure that all consulting services needed by a project are in place at the earliest possible time. The recruitment of a consulting firm for engineering design and drawing under this project spanned 15 months despite advance action. This significantly delayed project implementation, highlighting the need for MECCS to strengthen its procurement capacity and ensure the timely recruitment of consultants for its projects.
