The first edition of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Monitor tracks the development of the PPP business environment as well as the challenges of doing PPPs in nine of the ADB’s developing member countries (DMCs): Bangladesh, the People’s Republic of China, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. It is divided into four main categories: Regulatory Framework, Institutional Capacity for Implementation, PPP Market Maturity, and Financial Facilities.

In July 1999 the first edition of Standardisation of PFI Contracts was published. The aim was to provide guidance on the key issues that arise in PFI projects in order to promote the achievement of commercially balanced Contracts and enable public sector procurers to meet their requirements and deliver best value for money. Second and third editions have followed in September 2002, and April 2004, together with an Addendum in December 2005.

This note is intended for use in connection with the preparation of PFI Project Agreements but it should be noted that the Policy Note which is the subject of this note is not limited to PFI projects.

HM Treasury have issued a new policy document and new contract standardisation guidance for PF2 as follows:

(a) “A New Approach to Public Private Partnerships” (“PF2 Policy”) (http://www.hmtreasury.gov.uk/infrastructure_ppp_contractual.htm) and

(b) “Standardisation of PF2 Contracts” (“PF2 Guidance”) ((http://www.hmtreasury.gov.uk/infrastructure_ppp_contractual.htm).

PF2 Guidance replaces the old PFI guidance named “Standardisation of PFI Contracts Version 4” which was issued in March 2007 (“SoPC 4”).
