A Public Private Partnership (PPP) is an arrangement involving both the public and private sectors in the provision of facilities and/or services for which a public sector organisation maintains accountability. It is a growing area and is undergoing rapid development internationally. The Public Finance Initiative (PFI) is a method of funding long term contracts for services and may include the provision of facilities and infrastructure - it is one example of PPP. In this Handbook, John Kelly provides a best practice approach to the management of PPP/PFI projects - he presents in a logically structured fashion, a well indexed procedural guide for those who have dealings, in any capacity, with PPP/PFI projects. The Handbook will fill the need for concise guidance for those new to PPP/PFI and act as a ready reference for those already involved. With a minimum use of acronyms and technical terms, the Handbook covers all phases of PPP/PFI projects, from the outline business case, conditions to be satisfied and the assembling of a project team, through the project procurement, to the commissioning process, handover and subsequent facilities management. A final section includes checklists, execution plans, contents listing for outline and full business cases, model management structures and examples of value for money evaluations.
