7. Th East Link Project Learning from others
We have met with a lot of foreign colleagues and suppliers regarding
- Project management
Technology
Contract forms
Procurement

8. The East Link Project
Strategy documents

9. The East Link Project Strategy for Good Competition
Continuous dialogue with the suppliers.
Fair balance of risks between Buyer and Supplier.
Transparent and calculable tender documents to reduce the suppliers´ risk-taking.
Reduce barriers to entry for foreign suppliers.

10. The East Link Project Strategy for Innovation
Address the contractors' skills and experience with regard to technical solutions, methods of production and logistics solutions.
Describe functions rather than technical solutions in the tender documents.
Design shall allow a large degree of freedom for coming Contractors and for Design-Build contracts.
Bonus for innovations.
