Project Selection
It is intended that CoST is a catalyst of a process leading to systematic release of key project information on all government construction projects. It may be that in the pilot, countries use a project-specific approach to increased transparency. But the ultimate goal is a mandated increase in transparency across the board.
The key principle for project selection is that the process should be rule-bound, transparent and objective. This means that the selection process should be, and should appear to be, based on fair, open, pre-agreed procedures that do not allow for favouritism or unfair discrimination.
