Working Group Report
19th April 2013

“A public-private partnership (PPP) is a contractual agreement
between the public and the private sectors, whereby the private
operator commits to provide public services that have
traditionally been supplied or financed by public institutions.
The ultimate goal of PPPs is to obtain more ‘value for money’
than traditional public procurement options would deliver.”
Often, PPDs i.e. public private dialogue forums such as the SBF
are mistakenly referred to as [being] PPPs. Strictly speaking,
PPDs are not PPPs although they retain the “collaborative” feature
of PPPs.
