Public Private Partnership (PPP) • Advantages of PPPs – Maximizes the use of each sector’s strength – Reduced development risk – Reduced public capital investment – Mobilizes excess or underutilized assets – Improved efficiencies/quicker completion – Better environmental compliance – Improved service to the community – Improved cost effectiveness – Shared resources – Shared/allocated risks – Mutual rewards 1/7/2020 Mrs. Smita Patil 13 Advantages of PPP • Investments are based on Long term view • Risk and value are transferred to the party which is best able to manage it at the least cost, achieving best value • Projects go through a competitive pricing process, meaning that the cost of public services is benchmarked against market standards • The timings and costings tend to be more certain and therefore deliver better value for money. Where PPPs are not completed to budget, the private sector usually bears the costs. 1/7/2020 Mrs. Smita Patil 14 Advantages of PPP • Speedy, efficient and cost delivery of projects • Optimal risk transfer and management • Competition and greater construction capacity • Accountability for the provision and delivery of quality projects • Innovation and diversity in the provision of public services • Infrastructure development more effectively and efficiently
1/7/2020 Mrs. Smita Patil 15
Advantages of PPP • The cross transfer of public and private sector skills, knowledge and expertise can create innovation and efficiency. • The private sector often brings with it a greater construction capacity, labour capacity and resources than would be available to the public sector. • Payments to the private sector in PPP projects are usually linked to how they perform, creating incentives and efficiency. • PPP projects are not subject to political interference and deferred payments for the government.
1/7/2020 Mrs. Smita Patil 16
Disadvantages of PPP • The number of parties involved and the long term nature of their relationships often result in complicated contracts and complex negotiations, and therefore high transaction and legal costs. PPP projects can take years to complete. • There is a risk that the private sector party will become insolvent or make large profits during the course of project – this can cause political problems for the public entity. 1/7/2020 Mrs. Smita Patil 17 Disadvantages of PPP • The long term nature of PPP project means debt is incurred long before the benefits appear. • Sometimes a public sector entity could borrow more cheaply alone than it could via the private sector. This has to balanced against the fact that capital expenditure incurred by a public sector body counts as government expenditure which at certain stages of economic cycle will score against the various statistical measures of the government borrowing.
1/7/2020 Mrs. Smita Patil 18
Public Private Partnership (PPP) • Risk Factors for PPP… – Lack of political leadership, vision and strategy – Not implemented in a context of wider change/ administrative reform – Poor costing or lack of resources – creeping commitments – Inappropriate definition of project goals and scope – Automation without process reengineering – Hurried implementation – Management of change-resistance from vested interest – Use of untested fancy technology – Inadequate attention to monitoring and evaluation 1/7/2020 Mrs. Smita Patil 19 Models of PPP Modified design – build (turnkey) contracts • This yields benefits in the form of time and cost savings, efficient risk-sharing, and improved quality. • The turnkey approach with milestone –linked payments and penalties or incentives can be linked to such kind of contracts.
1/7/2020 Mrs. Smita Patil 20
Models of PPP BOT (build operate transfer) models • The BOT form of model and its variants is the most common form of PPP model used in India accounting for almost two-thirds of PPP projects in the country. • The two major forms of BOT models are: • User- fee based BOT model • Annuity – based BOT model
1/7/2020 Mrs. Smita Patil 21
Models of PPP • User- fee based BOT model: Commonly used in medium to large scale PPPs for the energy and transport sub sectors (road, ports, airports). • Annuity – based BOT model: Commonly used in sectors / projects not meant for cost recovery through user charges such as rural, urban, health and education sectors.
1/7/2020 Mrs. Smita Patil 22
Variants of BOT Design Build (DB) : • Where Private sector designs and constructs at a fixed price and transfers the facility.
Build Transfer Operate (BTO) :
• Where Private sector designs and builds the facility. • The transfer to the public owner takes place at the conclusion of construction. • Concessionaire is given the right to operate and get the return on investment.
1/7/2020 Mrs. Smita Patil 23
Variants of BOT Build-Own-Operate (BOO) : • A contractual arrangement whereby a Developer is authorized to finance, construct, own, operate and maintain an Infrastructure or Development facility • The Developer is allowed to recover his total investment by collecting user levies from facility users. • Under this Project, the Developer owns the assets of the facility and may choose to assign its operation and maintenance to a facility operator. • The Transfer of the facility to the Government, Government Agency or the Local Authority is not envisaged in this structure; however, the Government, may terminate its obligations after specified time period.
1/7/2020 Mrs. Smita Patil 24
Variants of BOT Design-Build Operate (DBO) : • Where the ownership is involved in private hands and a single contract is let out for design construction and operation of the infrastructure project.
Design Build Finance Operate (DBFO) :
• With the design–build–finance–operate (DBFO) approach, the responsibilities for designing, building, financing, and operating & maintaining, are bundled together and transferred to private sector partners. • DBFO arrangements vary greatly in terms of the degree of financial responsibility that is transferred to the private partner
1/7/2020 Mrs. Smita Patil 25
Variants of BOT Build- Operate- Transfer (BOT) : • Annuity/Shadow User Charge : In this BOT arrangement, private partner does not collect any charges from the users. • His return on total investment is paid to him by public authority through annual payments (annuity) for which he bids. • Other option is that the private developer gets paid based on the usage of the created facility.
1/7/2020 Mrs. Smita Patil 26
Models of PPP Performance based management/ maintenance contracts • The PPP model that lead to improved efficiency are encouraged in an environment that is constrained by the availability of economic resources. The sectors meant for such form of PPP models include water supply, sanitation, solid waste management, road maintenance etc.
