The document discusses suggested steps for competitively selecting concessionaires for public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure projects through an international competitive bidding process. It recommends carrying out prequalification of bidders followed by a two-stage bidding procedure involving an initial technical proposal and subsequent financial proposal from prequalified bidders. The selection criteria and evaluation methodology should be clearly defined in the bidding documents to ensure transparency and optimal selection of the successful bidder.
