Given that this is the first large-scale PPP project in the transport sector, the TA loan was effective in providing continuous support to government agencies, allowing them to carry out the necessary preparations for the PPP, including preparation of the procurement documents, bid evaluation, and BOT concession agreement negotiations. To minimize professional liability, the MSC was subsequently single-sourced to act as construction supervision consultants for the ensuing loan to implement the HIW works.
