- Description
- There is general acceptance that PPPs are part of the procurement landscape in Australia. However, a strong body of opinion exists to support the concerns of the private sector that current social infrastructure projects in Australia are not true partnerships (Curnow et al., 2005; Jefferies and McGeorge, 2009; Jefferies et al., 2013). The public sector needs to make PPPs more attractive to the private sector and clarify the risk identification in order to transfer more responsibility to the private sector. This issue is supported by recent industry criticism of PPPs concerning the 'narrowness' of the scope of work that is offered to the private sector. In reality, PPP project costs relating to finance, building design, construction, maintenance and waste management amount to less than 15 per cent of the total life-cycle cost of the enterprise. Figure 9 .1 illustrates the limited nature of current private sector participation in PPPs.
