Appropriate procurement packaging and stringent construction management. The project could not enforce international lead joint venture contractor to be present in executing the international competitive bidding (ICB) packages for civil works, whereas national contractors also tended to use subcontractors to implement works. This calls for appropriate procurement packaging so that their size is commensurate to attract the interest and deployment of eligible international and national contractors without causing excessive dependence on joint venture partners and less experienced subcontractors. More stringent and tight contract management is also needed to enforce contractual requirements so timeliness, efficiency, and quality can be ensured.
