Payment Mechanisms for PPP Public Private Partnerships “PPP is a long term relationship where the provision of a public service is handed to the private sector for a defined period, in return for access to an agreed revenue stream”
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Typical Sectors Transport - Roads - Railways - Airports - Ports Health - Hospitals - Clinics Education - Schools Justice - Courts - Prisons Defence - Barracks - Equipment maintenance - Other support services Municipal Services - Refuse collection - Road maintenance - Social housing
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Typical PPP Arrangements - Design Build Finance Operate Ø Design and build infrastructure Ø Operate and maintain it for a set period Ø Finance the whole project - Operate and Maintain Ø Provide service for defined period Ø Provide working capital Ø Some re-investment may be needed
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Design of the Payment Mechanism - Incentivise contractor to provide a good service at the best possible price - Private contractor will aim to provide the quality of service that maximises his profit - Payment mechanism needs to ensure profit is maximised when the public partner’s desired quality of service is achieved - Need to be realistic about the trade-off between cost and quality
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Potential Payment Mechanisms - User charges - Usage payments - Availability payments - Performance payments - Ancillary revenue
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Typical Payment Structures Source of Payment User Charges Sell services to consumers Sell services to public partner only √ Usage Payments (√) Availability Payments (√) √ Performance payments (√) √ √ √ Ancillary Revenue
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Stage Payments - Stage payments sometimes made to contractor during construction phase of high capital cost projects (eg if EU grant available) - Can reduce overall costs because of lower cost of capital to the public sector - However need to ensure that incentives to long term good performance are not undermined
Payment Mechanisms for PPP User Charges - Applicable where consumers expect to pay, for example: - Toll roads - Railways - Public utilities (eg water, gas, electricity) - Potential to operate without subsidy - Need to satisfy customers provides incentive to quality - Revenue guarantees may be needed - Risk of inflexibility due to contractual guarantees - Risk of monopoly abuse
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Controlling Monopoly Abuse - Regulate profits - No incentive for good service - Potential to hide profits eg through cross-charges - Regulate prices - Potential to increase profit through efficiency gains - Design price controls to meet social objectives - Avoid excessive complexity and very rigid controls
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Usage Payments - Useful where private partner’s performance affects usage but where the public partner does not wish to charge - Common in the highways sector - Risk of unexpected changes in payments - Risk of inflexibility due to contractual guarantees
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Availability Payments - Based on the facility being available for use when needed, with penalties if all or part not available - Typical unavailability criteria for a building: - Not accessible - Not weather-proof - Not compliant with safety regulations - Inadequate lighting - Too hot or cold - Lack of required furniture - Toilets not functioning
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Performance Payment - Availability payments alone will not guarantee high quality delivery - Significant element of payment often related to quality of performance delivery - Performance factors vary between projects, but typical factors include: - Equipment reliability - Speed of response to failures - Cleanliness - Responsiveness to user comments
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Benchmark Performance Penalty Bonus Incentive Regime Pa nt e ym Terminate Unacceptable Poor Fair Good Excellent
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Performance Measurement - Self reporting - System monitoring - Inspection and testing - “Mystery shopper” surveys - User surveys - Staff feedback - User complaints
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Ancillary Revenue - Often opportunities for contractor to provide ancillary services at a profit, for example: - Shops and retail kiosks - Cafes - Sell advertising - Charge for ancillary services (eg car parking) - Generally a small contributor to financing - Useful if does not work against main aim of contract
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Case Study: Northern Line Train Service Provision Contract
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Case Study: Northern Line Train Service Provision Contract - Public party: London Underground Ltd. - Private party: ALSTOM - Contract: 20 year contract to take over maintenance of existing train fleet, replace it with new trains and maintain new fleet - Payment: based on number of trains available for service - Reliability of old fleet quickly exceeded benchmark - New trains unreliable when introduced - Contractor and his staff incentivised to improve performance - Now operating reliably
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Case Study: Liverpool Women’s Hospital, Hospital Information Support System - Public party: Liverpool Obstetrics and Gynaecology Services Health Trust - Private party: Data General - Contract: Install and operate new hospital data system - Payment mechanism: - Availability 70% (with penalty for late delivery) - Performance 20% - Usage 10%
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Calibration of Payment Mechanism - Important to model likely impact of proposed payment mechanism using proposed penalties and realistic data on likely faults - Ensure that the mechanism: Ø Provides right balance between cost and reward Ø Provides the appropriate incentives Ø Does not contain loopholes that the contractor can exploit Ø Does not impose excessive risk of performance penalties or termination - Potential role for Monte Carlo simulation
Payment Mechanisms for PPP Indexation - Need to consider how inflation will be covered in the payment mechanism - Some elements of contractor’s costs not subject to inflation (eg fixed price construction contract) - Other elements may inflate at higher or lower rates than general inflation - Desirable to use a range of indices to try to match payment increases to contractor to his actual cost increases
