Readiness check 3 and Final Approval

Application for Final Approval

If the internal reviewer signs off on the readiness check then an application can be made for Final Approval to procure the project as a PPP. This application would be made to the relevant Approving Authority, which depends on the jurisdiction governing the PPP.

The Approving Authority would assess the key documents prepared for the bidding stage, and review the results of the qualifying stage. It would also take account of the in-principle recommendation made by the Clearance Authority.

A set of approval guidelines and application forms has been prepared by the PPP Cell in DEA for projects at the Centre. They are available from the Tools & Resources section of the toolkit or from the DEA website. Parts of these have been incorporated into the Readiness Filter.
