• b. The PPP Framework should prohibit renegotiation of contracts, as renegotiation is not in the public interest

• c. The PPP Framework should define in very precise terms how the tender process is to be conducted and how bids are to be evaluated

• d. Using standard contracts may reduce the quality of contracts compared to having experienced advisors develop a specific contract for each project

A PPP Framework states that the government can enter into a contract with a party that proposes a privately initiated project in any of the following circumstances: 

1. If the project provides benefits to the community; or

2. If the private proponent owns intellectual property that is crucial to the project, such that it could not be implemented otherwise.

How could this Framework be improved?

• a. Delete or amend paragraph 1, as the fact the project will provide benefits to the community is an insufficient reason, by itself, to accept such a proposal.

• b. Delete or amend paragraph 2, because the government should buy the intellectual property and then put the project out to tender.

Which of the following is correct?

• c. The role of “advising and supporting agencies to implement PPPs” is sensible and beneficiary as a PPP Unit will be able to offer a great deal of experience and specialist skills acquired because of their focus on PPPs and involvement in numerous projects

• d. The role of “Providing communication channels to investors” is intended to help bidders and financiers with information about the program and upcoming opportunities so as to protect or boots the market interest in the PPP program
