ABSTRACT
This chapter presents an evaluation model which can be used for assessing the suitability of public-private partnership (PPP) projects by studying their attractive and negative factors. The group of factors that scores the highest indicates the suitability of adopting PPP for the project being considered. With the identification of the weightings for the attractive and negative factors of PPP, these could be identified as checklists for assessing the suitability and/or feasibility of using PPP. If the attractive factors are prevailing in a given project scenario, the use of PPP will be more positive. The attractive and negative factors discussed were derived from a comprehensive literature review and verified by previous researchers. Their relevance and appropriateness was also confirmed from data collected around the world. Nevertheless, the questionnaire surveys sought opinions on PPP projects in general and not for particular projects.
