PPP Process

This section describes in more detail the range of PPP contract types under the definition of PPP used in this Reference Guide; and some of the more common terminology used globally to describe PPPs.

Structuring PPP Projects

Starting with identifying and prioritizing project risks (Identifying Risks) then describing how risks are allocated (Allocating Risks) then explaining how the risk allocation relates to the other aspects of project structure (Translating Risk Allocation into Contract Structure), the section provides an outline of how PPP projects are structured.

Concessions Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) and Design-Build-Operate (DBO) Projects

Concessions, Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) Projects, and Design-Build-Operate (DBO) Projects are types of public-private partnerships that are output focused. BOT and DBO projects typically involve significant design and construction as well as long term operations, for new build (greenfield) or projects involving significant refurbishment and extension (brownfield). See below for definitions of each type of agreement, as well as key features and examples of each. This page also includes links to checklists, toolkits, and sector-specific PPP information.
