Engagement Process

Confirm authority and objective: Identify the responsible institution, mandate and decision owner.
Classify the requirement: Determine whether the need is business case, PPP, capital, fund, implementation or technology.
Define scope and parties: Map workstreams, client responsibilities, advisers, approvals and procurement requirements.
Formalise the mandate: Verify authority and execute the approved engagement and confidentiality arrangements.
Use decision gates: Progress only when the required evidence and approvals support the next stage.
