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. Specifically, the bidder's lack of knowledge and comprehension of the required details for the technical proposals created a deviation from the technical specifications for the locomotive alternators. This should have been resolved during bidding and at the design approval stage. BR failed to decide on the erroneous specifications despite the bidder’s request
