BACKGROUND
Public Private Partnership (PPP) is a long-term partnering relationship between the public and private sectors to deliver services. Through PPP, the public sector seeks to bring together the expertise and resources of the public and private sectors to provide services to the public at the best value for money.
Traditionally, the public sector has tended to engage the private sector merely to construct facilities or supply equipment. The public agencies will then own and operate the facilities or equipment or engage separate maintenance and operations companies to operate the facilities and equipment to deliver the services to the public.
With PPP as an alternative form of procurement, the public sector will focus on acquiring services at the most cost-effective basis, rather than directly owning and operating assets.
There are many possible PPP models, including joint-ventures, strategic partnerships to make better uses of government assets, Design-Build-Operate and Design-Build-Finance-Operate. Public Private Partnership Handbook: Executive Summary Public Private Partnership Handbook PPP PROJECTS
