Public Private Partnership Germany

Due to the associated cost savings, the enlistment of private-sector expertise and the ability to lessen the burden on government administrative departments, setting up a partnership between the public sector and private companies to provide public services can be an attractive solution.

We would like to offer our consulting services to support you in the planning stage.
We would also welcome the opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities as a partner in financing public private partnerships with the broad spectrum of financing tools that we offer.

Universal Procurement Model

The PPP concept aims at

• A long-term partnership rather than a short-term exchange of goods and services
• Optimisation of economic benefits during the procurement stage (investment stage) and the stage when public services are provided (life-cycle approach) changing the role of the public partner:
  from that of investor and provider to that of a customer of public services
• Stimulating optimisation by inviting integrated tenders that encompass planning, construction, financing, operations and possibly distribution, as well
• Increasing efficiency through earnings incentives and the transfer of risk.

Specific Concepts

There are opportunities to apply PPP concepts in almost every area of public administration:

• Civil Engineering (Public Works) Sector
  (streets and/or highways, tunnels, bridges, railways).
  Responsibility for projects in the € 50 million to € 500 million range or higher generally lies with the federal or state governments.
• Structural Engineering (Building Construction) Sector
  (schools, gymnasia, hospitals and nursing homes, administrative buildings, university facilities, prisons).
  Typical projects cost between € 5 and € 100 million. Often, responsibility for these projects lies with the municipalities or states.
• Technology Sector
  (e.g. communications networks, military procurement).
  Typically, these investments exceed € 100 million and fall under the responsibility of the national government, the states or even supranational institutions.

Advantages of PPP

• Lowers the cost of providing public services
• Reduces investment backlogs and accelerates investment projects
• Saves/frees up budget resources, cash and administrative capacity
• Optimises allocation of risk
• Improves public infrastructure capacity
• Relieves public budget deficits.
