8. A public body may use the agency’s advisory and expert services for the evaluation of the feasibility of its infrastructure, equipment or public service delivery projects in the public-private partnership mode, for the process of selecting partners and for the negotiation and conclusion of public-private partnership contracts. These services are made available if, in the opinion of the agency, the nature and importance of the project warrant it.
In addition, a department must use the services of the agency for any project for which a public-private partnership is considered, if the department is directly or indirectly the main source of financing for the project and if the project is considered to be a major one according to the criteria determined by the Government for that purpose.
