Institutionalised Public-Private Partnerships (IPPP)

Three directives were passed in 2014 (which will come into force in member states by April 2016 at the latest) as a package of legal acts designed to modernize public procurement rules across the European Union (EU).

Procurement of concession contracts is governed by EU Directive 2014/23/EU on Award of concession contracts

 

Earlier documents, which are still relevant until these directives come into force in 2016 include 

  • Rules applicable to Institutionalised Public-Private Partnerships (IPPP), with an interpretative communication in 2008.
  • 2004 Green Paper on public-private partnerships
  • Mobilising private and public investment for recovery and long term structural change: developing Public Private Partnerships
