The study takes into account all the costs of the Project (direct and recurring, indirect and exceptional which result from the coverage of certain risks by the Public person). The study defines the conditions of a good control of these costs. The study takes into account variable data during the duration of the Project such as the indexation of some commitments, in case of PPP with public payment, and the mutability of the public service, in case of concessive PPP.
