If this is approved by the council (Y) of the local government (CCLG), the senior management of the university (X) recently decided following:

• The scope of the proposal will be divided into two major components as separate projects, i.e.
  • Project 1 for designing and constructing (2 years); and
  • Project 2 for operating, maintaining, training/ educating, etc. (25 years)
• Although the faculty (EF) has design expertise, X will hire a top Design and Build contractor, i.e. A2Z for the Project 1.
  • The price and non-price terms will be negotiated between X and A2Z.
• For the Project 2, a new consortium company ENERGY-HYBRID will be subsequently formed after completion of Project 1.
  • X, Alpha and Beta will hold major portion of shares in this new consortium company.

Assume that the Project 1 could tentatively commence from 1 July 2022 and the estimated execution period for this project is 24 Months. This project (Project 1) requires a specialized equipment for which a set of key components need to be manufactured abroad by some overseas contractors. The schedule of Project 1 includes:

• Manufacturing and delivery period 1^st July 2022 to 18^th December 2022; and (b) Installation period from 19^th Dec 2022 to 31^st July 2023. In October 2021, the contractor of this project (A2Z) will call for bids from overseas contractors to supply the key component and install in Australia. Assume that three specialist overseas companies, one from P-Alpha from Taiwan, Q-Beta from Indonesia and R-Gamma from India have submitted bids to manufacture the component in their home countries and install in Australia. All three bidders comply with specifications and also have international reputations. P-Alpha predominantly employs personnel from Taiwan. Q- Beta predominantly employs personnel from Indonesia. R-Gamma predominantly employs personnel from India.

For the above-mentioned hypothetical case-study you are required to:

1. (a) Identify all stakeholders mention their respective roles in the project – Project 1;
