| Summary: | Public-private partnership (PPP)
projects are gaining momentum globally as a means for
delivering infrastructure. Government capabilities to
prepare, procure, and manage such projects are important to
ensure that the expected efficiency gains are achieved. No
systematic data currently exist to measure those
capabilities in governments. Benchmarking PPP Procurement
2017 is the first attempt to collect and present comparable
and actionable data on PPP procurement on a large scale, by
providing an assessment of the regulatory frameworks and
recognized practices that govern PPP procurement across 82
economies. Benchmarking PPP Procurement 2017 presents an
analysis of targeted elements aggregated into four areas
that cover the main stages of the PPP project
cycle:preparation, procurement, and contract management of
PPPs, and management of unsolicited proposals (USPs). Using
a highway transport project as a case study to ensure
cross-comparability, it analyzes the national regulatory
frameworks and presents a picture of the procurement
landscape at the end of March 2016. The average performance
in each area varies across regions and income levels. Figure
ES.1 shows that the higher the income level of the group,
the higher the performance in the four areas. The data also
show that the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) high income and Latin American and
Caribbean regions perform at or above average. Benchmarking
PPP Procurement 2017 shows that across the four areas
measured, mosteconomies fall short of good practice. In
particular, a significant number of economies have low
scores in two areas: project preparation and contract
management. Consequently, there is room for improvement
specially in regulating the activities to be undertaken
before launching the PPP procurement process as well as in
preparing for those that will follow after the signature of
the PPP contract. |
