The Vector panel is a route to tender for future work, so its term and eligibility do not guarantee that all capital works will be assigned to Downer; the portfolio also spans different operating environments and alliance interfaces."

The useful reference is the package each participant actually manages, designs or constructs. Interface registers and acceptance plans should connect those packages without erasing their boundaries. Work at a shared project is not proof that one firm owns the whole contract or completed every asset. Procurement and construction reviews should retain the named partners, the recorded milestone and the distinction between delivery participation and operation."
