In concession projects with a long cooperation period, one of the main tasks of the government during the performance process is to carry out relevant regulatory work on the project, among which price adjustment and mid-term evaluation are common regulatory measures. In order to cope with the risk of price changes during the operation period, there are usually two ways to adjust the price of the concession project: firstly, to adjust the price periodically according to the price adjustment formula agreed in the contract; and secondly, to carry out cost monitoring of the project, and to adjust the price according to the cost analysis and monitoring situation. Mid-term evaluation is a stage-by-stage evaluation work arranged by the government regulator in the course of project implementation, with the purpose of regularly assessing the expected output, implementation effect and contract fulfillment of the project, in order to continuously improve and enhance the implementation and management level and efficiency of the project by all parties, and to promote the franchise project to achieve the expected goals.
