In the project implementation (PI) document, the owner specifies the requirements for implementing the project. To this end, the PI document should describe the project management and organisational, quality and environmental management, project planning and scheduling, project risk evaluation, project control, engineering and design management, procure­ment and supply chain management, project documentation, information management system (IMS) and project communication requirements which the bidder is required to follow to carry out the contract.

Preparing a good and complete PI document will increase the probability of having a well-organised project. The following paragraphs outline the proposed contents for the PI document.

19.9.1 Project management and organisation

This describes the owner’s project implementation model, the requirements for the project organisation and management manual to be prepared by the bidder, a description of the owner’s organisation, the requirements for the vendor’s organisation, the assignment of key organisational responsibilities, a description of the licensing process to be followed and a definition of licensing responsibilities. This section could conclude with a description of the risk management system to be applied to the project.
