Public Private Partnership Consultants & Project Manger

Public Private Partnership (PPP) has emerged as viable alternative to traditional procurement method for procuring public infrastructure and services.

PPP creates a window for private entities to provide their innovative services and technology to government in a more efficient and effective manner if well-structured, with optimal risk distribution between the Private and Public Entities.
There is no universally accepted definition of Public Private Partnership (PPP), however, for simplicity purposes, PPP can be regarded as a cooperation/partnership between a Public Entity and Private Entity aimed at ensuring the funding, construction, rehabilitation, management and maintenance of public assets for the provision of a service. It is an alternative to traditional procurement methods for procuring or delivering new assets or upgrades of existing public assets and services.

From a private sector perspective, it can also be regarded as a cooperation/relationship with the public sector through which they have access to new opportunities and business growth prospects, through the funding, construction, rehabilitation, management and maintenance of public assets for the provision of a service. PPP provides a context within which the private sector can play a role in public infrastructure management and services and earn return on its investment. However, it is important to note that PPP projects can be complex, highly-complicated engagements involving multiple and diverse stakeholders, prone with potential risks and costs compared to traditional procurement processes. It is therefore important to ensure that PPP projects are mutually beneficial to both the public entity and the private entity to be successful.

Government, can benefit from private financing, innovation, efficiency and effectiveness of private sector, while the private sector firms can benefit through new business opportunities and expansion of their business.

To get these benefits, the public entity has to develop, structure and invite tenders from private sector to participate, while the private sector has to response to such invitations or identify and prepare unsolicited PPP proposal for government to evaluate, accept or reject.
