This is becoming harder

Every business has moved online in recent years. ​ Even the fishmonger in your hometown has joined TikTok and does live streams while serving customers. ​ The same has happened in real estate. ​ We’re more prepared than ever, with more information at our fingertips.

One of the most astonishing, under-focused risks in infrastructure PPPs is land availability and land cost escalation. Too often, governments assume or implicitly transfer the risk of land value increases to the private concessionaire. Please, don’t. I come from Spain and one of my first babies were the R5 and R3 radial roads, at the time ACS’s concessions. And...
Recently, I assisted with horror to a meeting where I was told that the respondents of an RFP had no limit of pages in their offers. They asked my opinion. My answer was graphic. If I was the bid manager and I had a gun, I would use it. No limits. OMG. The last shoes that you want to wear are those of the bid managers in the RFP. Imagine yourself with that burden. No limits.
