Working Group Report 1 19 th April 2013

Slide “A public-private partnership (PPP) is a contractual agreement between the public and the private sectors, whereby the private operator commits to provide public services that have traditionally been supplied or financed by public institutions. The ultimate goal of PPPs is to obtain more ‘value for money’ than traditional public procurement options would deliver.” Often, PPDs i.e. public private dialogue forums such as the SBF are mistakenly referred to as [being] PPPs. Strictly speaking, PPDs are not PPPs although they retain the “collaborative” feature of PPPs. 2
