There is a tendency in PPP projects to focus efforts on the procurement process, award, and financial close. However, the real work starts during implementation, when the parties must deliver on their obligations. The municipality has a critical role to play during implementation. This module provides guidance on how the municipality can manage implementation of the PPP to improve the likelihood of success.

This PPP Agreement is provided only as a sample document. It must be adapted to fit the unique circumstances and needs of each particular Municipality and project for which its use is intended. National and local laws, regulations, policies and practices may prescribe a different approach to procuring project-level consulting services. It is based on the World Bank Guidance on PPP Contractual Provisions (2017 Edition).

National and local laws, regulations, policies and practices may prescribe a different approach to procurement.

For any particular project, the Municipality must consider what type of outside consulting services are needed, as well as the adequacy and convenience of contracting all the services from the same contractor. In some cases, the Municipality may not require all the services included in this sample document (e.g., where the Municipality chooses to proceed directly to a full feasibility without first completing a pre-feasibility study).
