Document Details:
European Commission, 2003. These Guidelines are designed as a practical tool for public-private partnership (PPP) practitioners in the public sector faced with the opportunity of structuring a PPP scheme and of integrating grant financing. They focus on four key topics: Ensuring open market access and fair competition; protecting the public interest and maximising value added; defining the optimal level of grant financing both to realize a viable and sustainable project but also to avoid any opportunity for windfall profits from grants; assessing the most effective type of PPP for a given project.
