 In addition, the bidding documents sometimes specify reimbursement for project development costs by the winning bidder or the government.Other countries (such as Korea and the Philippines) allow no reimbursement of project development costs.Advantage of offering cost reimbursement maintains private sector interest during the development phase of an infrastructure project, helps to ensure that the source of ideas is not limited to large investors with deep pockets, and encourages proponents to allocate the resources needed to ensure that projects are professionally developed.
