Open Questions. . . . in determining operating model and support requirements:
How much knowledge must the owner have and how much can the plant designer be relied on?
What information does the public need and when?
How much work can be done locally?
What is the best contracting and finance model?
Does “best” mean most certain...
...or lowest construction cost...
...or lowest through-life cost...
...or minimum ‘initial’ client equity?

Summary• NNB projects internationally have many different configurations of client, suppliers and
(therefore) differing support requirements
• All NNB stakeholders must have a basic capability and capacity across the three critical core skill-sets
• NNB Support service organisations must be adaptable; to project procurement strategy, phases of the project, client thick/thin ‘IC’ role
• IC role needs support to varying degrees during the transients in the project lifecycle; interface management is a critical focus area
• Flexibility is needed within the NNB support service provider and the commercial arrangements to optimise delivery of the service
• Its important that local suppliers are embedded into the NNB support infrastructure; lasting legacy in operations
