Understand P3
� Long term contract between the public and private sectors with or without financing from the latter to design, build, operate and manage a public asset
� Long term contract where a public entity acquires from the private sectors a public service
� A cooperative venture between the public and private sectors, built on the expertise of each partner that best meets clearly defined public objectives through the appropriate allocation and definition of results, investments, resources, risks and rewards

Understand P3
� Private Public Partnership is certainly Outsourcing
� Outsourcing doesn’t have P3 intricacies� Most often because of the financing � More complex contract structure� Major difference in the term
� IT IS NOT PRIVATIZATION where the public sector:� Release of assets� Public sector has no control beside laws and rulings� All risks and benefits are for the private sector

Operational differences Outsourcing & P3
� Conventional/Outsourcing
� Short-term or no O&M contract
� Owner is coordinator of services
� Owner keeps risk or,
� Owner transfers risks to the extent it is able to
� Owner has flexibility to do what it wants� Build or not
� Change design or services
� Maintenance decision
� Replacement of the assets
� Has all decision making abilities
� P3
� Long-term contracts
� Transfer of all responsibilities to a concessionaire (JV)
� Owners risks transferred in whole or in part
� Risks packaged and transferred to various parties
� Operator performs all operating activities
� Limited flexibility on owner to make changes

Contractual differences Outsourcing & P3
1. Once the RFP process ends, there is no more changesand one on one negotiation
2. Almost no negotiation during the term – Limited opportunities beside the ones listed in the contract
3. No further risk rebalancing after the adjudication
4. Extremely difficult to cancel and or terminate because of the financial model which includes the financing and risk transfer to the private sector
5. Potential lawsuits and litigation from the others

Risk Transfer
� Objective
� Approach
� Ultimately
� Party that is most capable to evaluate, control and reduce the risk would bare it
� Typically the public sector decides the PPP model it would like to used
� Conditional to market appetite for financing the project, economy, politics, type of project
� Wrong risk transfer model make the project more expensive
� Won’t attract the best suppliers � Usually would put the project at risk

Some Parting Thoughts
� Heads of Terms between JV & O&M - Risk allocation, transition and $
� JV structure – O&M doesn’t control all aspects of the agreement with client
� Long term - Limited upsides
� Long term - Higher risk of cost increase
� Client focus change of mindset and management style
� Major economical disruption - Economic cycle at play
� Asset transfer - Life cycle management
� Terms well beyond typical outsourcing agreements
� Successful ventures
