In France, PPPs can be concluded through several contractual forms: (i) public service delegations and (ii) partnership contracts.   Delegations of public services are classified as administrative contracts that can be concluded by public entities for the delivery of a service of public interest. There is no explicit legal definition of the various possible contractual forms - although four of them emerge from various texts and the practice and case law: concession (whereby the private party bears the financial burden associated to the initial cost of the infrastructure and to its maintenance, and operates at its own risk), lease (affermage - whereby the private party bears the financial burden associated to the maintenance of the infrastructure and operates at its own risk) and management contracts (régie - whereby a public authority delegates the management of a service but assumes all risks associated to it - participation to results is also possible) - and gérance (which is very close to régie although tariffs are fixed by the contracting authority). Partnership contracts refer to a method of financing of public infrastructure - whereby private parties will in principle be paid directly by the contracting public authority, not users. An overview is available on the website of the department of Isère.
