PPP Project lifecycle

The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project lifecycle typically involves the following stages:

1. Project Identification and Preparation: In this stage, the government agency identifies a project that is suitable for PPP and conducts feasibility studies to assess the project’s viability, potential risks, and benefits. The agency also prepares the project for private sector participation, including developing the project scope, objectives, and procurement documents.
   • Project preparation stage which involves identifying the project need (expression of need, need analysis and options analysis) and the activities that happen after this identification (stakeholder consultation, hiring of advisors and constitution of project management cell)
   • This stage involve in identifying a priority public investment project, typically through a public investment planning and project selection process. During this process, some or all proposed public investment projects are screened for their potential as a PPP.

2. Procurement: The government agency issues a request for proposals (RFP) or other procurement documents to solicit bids from private sector partners. The agency evaluates the proposals and selects the best partner based on various criteria, including technical expertise, financial strength, and value for money.
   • project feasibility : The project feasibility stage confirms the practicability of a project in terms of technical, financial, legal and economic aspects, whether or not a project is envisaged for development through the PPP route.
   • project structuring :  it is at this stage that the contours of the project, roles, and responsibilities of the parties, consideration, project scope, functions, payment terms, other conditions, etc. are finalized.
   • bid documentation
     • Notice Inviting Tenders
     • Request for Qualification (RFQ) & Request for Proposal (RFP)
     • Project Information Memorandum Docket
3. Contract Negotiation: After selecting the private sector partner, the government agency negotiates the contract terms and conditions with the partner, including project scope, timelines, pricing, risk allocation, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
4. Financial Close: Once the contract negotiations are completed, the parties finalize the financing arrangements, including securing funding from lenders or investors. Financial close is achieved when all the necessary agreements and approvals are in place, and the project can proceed to the construction or operational phase.
5. Construction/Operational Phase: This is the implementation phase, where the private sector partner constructs, operates, and maintains the project as per the contract terms. The government agency monitors the project’s progress and compliance with the contract, while the private sector partner manages the day-to-day operations.
   • The private partner is then responsible for the construction Actual implementation (construction) of the project requires a reasonable amount of time, taking into account the land acquisition issues, approvals and clearances to be obtained and the scale of development which is envisaged.
6. Project Handover/Expiration: At the end of the contract period, the private sector partner hands over the project to the government agency, or the project may be re-tendered for a new private sector partner. Alternatively, the project may be extended, or the contract may be renewed, depending on the project’s success and the parties’ agreement.

Overall, the PPP project lifecycle involves a complex process that requires careful planning, collaboration, and coordination between the government agency and private sector partner to ensure successful project delivery.
