Document Details:

This current edition of the Guidance on PPP Contractual Provisions, 2019 Edition (“Guidance”) is largely based upon work done by the international law firm of Allen & Overy LLP, under a team led by David Lee, Helga Van Peer, Tim Conduit, Fleur Clegg and Sarah Garvey, with input from across Allen & Overy’s global PPP practice. It builds on the Guidance’s 2017 edition on which Allen & Overy LLP also worked and which expanded the Guidance’s first edition, known as “Report on Recommended PPP Contractual Provisions, 2015 Edition”, as developed by a Paris-based team of the international law firm of Gide Loyrette Nouel. The work done by both Allen & Overy LLP on this 2019 and on the 2017 edition and Gide Loyrette Nouel on the 2015 Report was generously funded by the Public-private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF). PPIAF, a multi-donor trust fund housed in the World Bank Group, provides technical assistance to governments in developing countries. PPIAF’s main goal is to create enabling environments through high-impact partnerships that facilitate private investment in infrastructure. For more information, visit www.ppiaf.org
