Abstract
Since 2005, the Dutch Infrastructure Authority Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) is changing the way of tendering huge infrastructure contracts away from traditional projects to PPP (Public Private Partnership) projects. In such PPP Projects a company/consortium has to deliver the design, build, finance and maintenance of large infrastructural works. These projects are challenging and demand a mature management system. To check the maturity of these management systems, RWS asks for frequent external independent assessments using ISO/IEC 15504 Part 6, Systems Engineering and defines tough roadmaps for process improvement, which require process capabilities at the start of the project that cannot be testified due to the structure of the capability model. This paper explains the problem and potential solutions of this issue.
