Public-Private Partnership
How private investment can support the public regeneration.
Multiply Public Resources to Regenerate Buildings and Cities
Public-Private Partnership (PPP) proposals may include energy efficiency operations or energy services with a perfomance guarantee (through so-called Energy Performance Contracts) and may include private capital investment next to the public ones. These contracts imply a remuneration, for the private operator, that is calculated on the base of the intervention effectiveness, of the correct and full service provision and on the base of the actual saving compared to the goal set together with the customer.
If the PPPs proposed by the private operator is deemed of public interest by the public administration, it becomes the object of a public tender.
The Public Administrations That may Benefit
The Private-Public Partnership Procedure
PPPs concern the design, financing, realisation and management of a specific operation. PPPs procedures may originate from a private operator' initiative: it may identify an opportunity to regenerate public buildings and infrastructures and suggest it to the public body. The latter has to evaluate the proposal within 90 days.
If the technical and economic evaluation is positive, the project is deemed of public interest and therefore included in the public administration planning programme. The project becomes the object of a public tender, at whom the private operator that proposed it may participate with right of pre-emption.
