Specialized Advisory
Specialized Advisory at CIGA Energy Advisory covers project readiness work that strengthens technical robustness and procurement discipline. We cover the development of technical specifications and tender documentation, definition of evaluation criteria, support during competitive procurement and contract negotiations, and independent review of technical and financial feasibility analyses. The work can either complement larger transformation and transaction mandates, or stand on its own when a specific document needs to be defensible.
Procurement-ready specifications, audit-ready feasibility studies.
