P3s: What Are They?

2

•  Public-private partnerships, or P3s, are partnerships between the government and the private sector to build public infrastructure like roads, hospitals or schools as well as deliver services.

•  P3s can be structured in different ways, allocating varying degrees of responsibility for design, construction, financing, maintenance or operation to the private sector, while always maintaining public ownership and control.

What is a P3?

Design Build Finance Maintain Operate

It goes by many names (P3, AFP, PFI)

•  The government contracts with a single entity (“Project Co”) who in turn contracts with consortium partners

•  The private sector accepts responsibility for Design, Build, Finance, Maintenance and in some cases Operations of asset

•  The facilities management component covers a long-term concession period (25 – 35 years) with pre-defined hand back conditions

•  Contracting arrangements are performance based

–  Payment from Government only begins upon completion of construction or milestone payments

–  On-going payments remain subject to deduction for failures in service delivery

–  Private Sector Financing at risk for the duration of the contract

When to use P3s

Typical characteristics that make a project more likely to make sense as a P3:

•  Project is large in size

•  Project is complex

•  The opportunity for risk transfer by the government owner

•  Long-term maintenance and/or operations component

•  Opportunity to innovate
