NWP PROCUREMENT MODEL Getting the Model Right
TO PPP OR NOT? • Is project of sufficient value? • Is there a history of in-house delivery and operation of this service? • Is it ‘core’ business? • Characterise risks • Are risks significant? • Which party is in the best position to manage risks (can risks be transferred)? • How will the private sector cost the risks that will fall with them? • Will a PPP deliver economic value to the public sector? • Will the project’s value bear the transaction costs (typ. $2-3 million)?
