Lessons Learnt – Key Elements for successful PPPs 1) Choice of Project - Is this project the right one? • Undertaken for sound developmental and economic reasons. • Positive economic internal rate of return; rigorous cost/benefit analysis • Politically acceptable • Environment/development balance • Will it achieve the Government’s development objectives? 2) What do the concession granting authorities wish to achieve? • Minimum cost to government and maximum use • Low environmental impact • Motor for development • Private Sector Efficiencies • Traffic diversion / free flowing traffic for road project • Projects completed on time and within original budget 10/20/2021 13
Lessons Learnt – Key Elements for successful PPPs 3) National Policy Framework for Public Private Partnerships. • Establishment of PPP unit at central government level to: • Create and maintain know-how • Introduce standardisation • Clarity in market • Speed in repeat transactions • Maintain consistent government position • Legal Environment • Need for clarity in the law governing PPPs and a structure which avoids loopholes 4) Procurement Procedure and Tender Process • Legislation to allow for procedures appropriate for award of concessions • Sensible and clear timeline with consistency • Prequalification and equal treatment to all bidders with transparent and objective process • Timing and process (scoring process) developed to produce comparable bids 10/20/2021 14
Lessons Learnt – Key Elements for successful PPPs 5) Security Issues: Whose money? 80% - BANKS 20% - SPONSORS • If things go wrong the banks need to be able to fix it before the concession is at risk (Step-in rights) • Unilateral change or termination to be balanced by economic compensation – even if termination for grantee’s fault (Debt Assumption) • These could be achieved via Direct Agreements 6) Dispute resolution • If things go wrong the banks need to be able to resolve disputes arising within the structures of PPPs in a manner that would allow parties from different legal and cultural backgrounds to resolve their disputes, generally without the formalities of their respective legal systems. Therefore, the requirement for international arbitration is crucial. 10/20/2021 15
