Abstract

The final negotiation in the competitive tender of a build, operate, and transfer (BOT) infrastructure project is concentrated on the financial and contractual elements associated with the concession agreement and financial package. This paper shows how there are several elements, in particular those related to tolls, that are regarded by governments and promoters as both important and difficult to negotiate during the final negotiation. The Competitive Tendering and Negotiation Model is therefore a useful process model for the government and promoters involved in a BOT tender to have a common understanding and to reach a successful conclusion at the final negotiation.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
