Public Private Partnership: National Treasury PPP Practice Notes issued in terms of the Public Finance Management Act

National Treasury’s PPP Manual is a systematically guide to public and private parties through the phases of the regulated PPP project cycle for national and provincial government, unpacking policy and providing procedural clarity as it does so. It draws on South African project experience to date and on best international practice, without infringing on the authority of accounting officers and authorities. It sets rigorous risk-assessment standards by which government will make affordable project choices that best leverage private investment for quality public services.

Policy of the South African National Roads Agency in Respect of Unsolicited Proposals

This policy guideline is a revision of the policy dated September 1997, issued by the predecessor of the Agency, namely the South African Roads Board.

It has been drafted in order to provide the private sector with a framework within which Unsolicited Proposals (“the Proposals”) should be prepared. It also explains how Proposals will be dealt with by the Agency, and lays down procedures which will be followed in order to stimulate a competitive environment, ensure transparency, and offer the public protection from the possibility of monopolistic practices and exploitation.
