Public Private Partnership • A Public Private Partnership (“PPP”) is a contractual relationship between a government and a private sector entity • The private entity finances, builds infrastructure assets and provides operations and maintenance services • Some key principles of PPPs are: • Public sector pays for the “service” and not the “asset” • No payment until asset is operational • Value for money • Risk allocation (to the party best able to manage the risk) • Requires competitive bidding and • Output specification for services • Synonyms of PPPs include PSPs (private sector participation), Joint Ventures and Privatizations. • A typical PPP are BOOT contracts (Build Own Operate Transfer)
What are PPPs? Payment for Performance • Alternative way of funding projects • Introduces private finance to public sector projects • Public Sector defines and buys a service not an asset • Private Sector delivers the service (and assets as required) • PPP structure is usually to create a single standalone business, financed and operated by the private sector • Create the asset and then deliver the service to the public sector client, in return for payment commensurate with the service levels provided Public Sector: Required Services Share operational role Private Sector: Creates assets Shares operational role Service Delivery
Pros and cons of PPPs • Pros • Improved and consistent provision of services • Certainty over financial outcomes • Improved risk allocation –i.e. risk transfer • Improved asset utilization • Encourage private sector innovation through output based approach • Competition drives down project cost • Whole-of-life approach to project costing • Cons • Complex contractually to negotiate • Longer time to implement than traditional projects • High implementation costs: • Finance • Fees • Due diligence • Developer resources
