The PPP Process Auditor will be appointed by, and reports directly to, the Accountable Officer. The purpose of the role is to give assurance to the Accountable Officer that the PPP procurement process has been conducted properly in accordance with agreed procedures, including compliance with European Union and national regulatory and administrative requirements, sector specific guidance and with the Project Governance Procedures. In performing this role, the PPP Process Auditor will identify to the Accountable Officer any issues of material concern. The role of the PPP Process Auditor will be recognised in the governance arrangements for MetroLink. The PPP Process Auditor is required to conduct its process checks as set out and recorded in an agreed PPP Procurement Process Checklist. The Process Auditor is required to raise any points of concern or any instance where a decision or advice relating to the stages as set out in the Project’s procurement process does not appear to have been followed through by the Project Team.
