This document published by the Water, Engineering and Development Centre of Loughborough University, seeks to serve as a guideline to PPP practitioners to draft and design pro-poor concession and lease contracts in the water service sec
This situation is quite common in the transportation sector, especially in where a new transportation system such as bus rapid transit is created. Examples of countries that have had to face this situation are Colombia and Peru (see below). The governments of these countries recognized the policy need to allow existing operators to be included in the new system, and structured the PPP to allow for such considerations.
Under the hybrid model, regulation by contract is combined with supervision by an independent regulator. Typically, tariffs agreed upon by the parties to the contract need to be approved by the regulator. This combined approach has been used for public utilities (as in Colombia and Kenya) and private WSPs (as in Colombia and Niger).
Regulation by contract uses no separate regulatory agency, and the public sector asset holder to a contract monitors the performance of the operator (usually private but sometimes public). A contract typically defines the relationship between the asset owner and the service provider. France is a country with a long history of PSPs contracting with local government. Such arrangements are also in place in Metro Manila, and they are being used increasingly for public utilities through performance contracts in France, Germany, and Uganda.
Private Participation in Infrastructure (PPI) Project Database Project Summary (ID 2704):
Une clause de recours exclusif décrit les voies de recours dont une partie dispose pour un événement particulier exclusivement et exclut toute autre voie de recours. Une clause de dommages-intérêts conventionnels définit au préalable les dommages-intérêts et empêche les parties de demander des dommages-intérêts généraux. Les entrepreneurs demandent habituellement d'inclure une clause de recours exclusif dans un contrat.
Cette liste de contrôle n'a pas pour objectif de remplacer l'analyse du contrat de construction, mais est destinée à être utilisée après une telle analyse afin de vérifier que tous les domaines clés du contrat ont été traités. L'essentiel n'est pas d'obtenir des réponses positives à l'ensemble des questions ci-dessous afin d'être en mesure d'accorder une analyse positive à un contrat, mais nous espérons que la liste de contrôle servira à identifier des domaines qui nécessitent une plus grande attention.
