Public Private Partnerships

Who can benefit?

Government is under significant pressure to improve public services and roll out more infrastructure. This places an undue burden on government resources and public sector capital. Increasingly, the private sector is asked to provide capital and resources through Public Private Partnerships (PPP), which take on many forms, including concessions and joint ventures.

PPPs allow the public sector to achieve value for money by accessing private sector capital, resources and skills, thereby obtaining the benefits of innovation, risk transfer and improved quality and service levels.

This is a service offered to both the private sector and the government.

What are the benefits?

PPPs allow the government sector to develop in ways that are usually only associated with the private sector. Private businesses that enter into PPPs are opening themselves up to new growth opportunities, and are increasing their capacity for development.

How can PwC help?

We help Government undertake feasibility studies by scoping and developing the project and evaluating the right procurement methodology. By managing the procurement process, including negotiations assistance, we ensure a timely financial close in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements. We advise Government on the principles and implementation of PPPs.

We also assist the private sector in Public Private Partnerships , structuring the deals, developing and modelling the commercial and financial structure for the transaction, arranging finance and providing advisory assistance from bid submissions and clarification through to financial close. Furthermore, we provide specialist commercial advice to BEE investors participating in PPPs.
