ABSTRACT

A Public Private Partnership (PPP) is a legal framework under a PPP act, defined as a relationship involving private capital in a public project. These projects are in the public interest, based on relationships between public and private partners and focused on the construction, maintenance and operation of public infrastructure and the associated provision of commercial and other public services or activities. PPP structures are typically more complex than traditional public procurement. There are often more parties involved in a project, the financing costs of PPP are generally higher and the different parties have to share the risks involved in a PPP. The focus of this chapter is to identify and evaluate critical success factors (CSFs) in the different stages of delivery of PPP transport infrastructure. Data analysis focuses on identifying CSFs in PPP cases: the factors of considerable influence on the success or failure of PPP.
