As-Samra, Due Dilligence, JordanDue
Diligence: The process by which a purchaser of, or an investor in,
a company or business investigates the records or proposals of the
target to support its value and find out whether there are
"skeletons in the cupboard" and if the business strategy is
viable.
Technical and environmental due diligence is increasingly important
as more infrastructure assets are developed using limited or
non-recourse funding and investors can rely only on project
revenues rather than parent company balance sheets.
As a result of our vast PPP experience for project companies,
funding organisations and governments, public sector organisations
and municipalities, we understand what is required to deliver
successful water and environmental projects for all
stakeholders.
Our extensive knowledge and experience in the water and environment
sector enables us to undertake a full range of due diligence
activities:
- Technical analysis
- Process technology validation
- Operational performance assessment
- Asset management strategy and life-cycle costing
- Environmental impact assessment, permitting and compliance with
Equator Principles
- Commercial risk analysis.
We understand the significance of Employer/Authority output
specifications on contractors’ proposals, the payment mechanism,
contractor performance and the impact on the income streams in the
financial model. The cost and performance benchmark data we have
compiled from operational projects provides our customers with
reliable information on which to build and check contractors’
proposals.
Fundamentally, our insight is backed up by operational experience,
round the clock availability and importantly, global reach.
We work with clients to understand their needs, credit approval
processes and attitudes to risk. We input to all stages of project
development from the provision of honest, open advice to bidders at
concept development through impartial development of finance
documentation to a partnering approach to implementation
monitoring, drawdown certification and reporting during the life of
the project.
We seek to increase certainty of return on investment through the
effective management of project risks. We provide highly
experienced people who understand the commercial deal and the
significance of these risks, who perform their services with
minimum disruption to project stakeholders. Mott MacDonald’s vast
resource base enables all expertise to be provided in-house. We
provide the experience that saves our customers money and increases
the return from their investments.
