Factors affecting Output specifications in PPP Projects

In traditional form of procurement of construction projects specification of building requirements are defined by the Client who mainly lack expert knowledge to express his needs, and usually covers separated project functions – design, construction, operation and even sometimes demolition. With lack of this synergy, project outcomes often do not reach expected performance. New types of procurement, such as PPP have led to new practice in defining output specification for Facilities that are focused on user requirements and enables great flexibility for all participants involved, but also enables Clients to penalize under-performance of the Contractors. One of the most critical parts of PPP Contracts are technical specifications of building requirements known as the Output specification requirements which presents Client needs. Output specification are building specific requirements defined by the Client that have to be satisfied by the Contractor during operational period of constructed Facilities. Output specifications should define what have to be achieved, not how it has to be achieved. Output Specifications should not be too ambitious but should take proper account of what the Clients are prepared to fund. In this paper the factors affecting Output specification will be defined and discussed, as well as some practical tips in order to avoid overestimation of these specifications.
