2 About the workshop Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) can cover all types of collaboration between the public and private sectors to deliver policies, services, and infrastructure. Where the delivery of public services involves private sector investment in infrastructure the most common form of PPP is the Private Finance Initiative or PFI (now PF2). The UK Government introduced PF1 in 1992 to facilitate closer co-operation between the public and private sectors and to introduce private sector skills and disciplines into the delivery and management of projects and services that were traditionally undertaken in the public sector. Since then it has made extensive use of PPP/PFI. Our workshop explores experience with a wide range of public-private partnerships within the UK transport sector, particularly to relation to roads and railways. It examines why these partnerships were set up, what benefits they have brought to both the Government and the public, and whether aspects of the UK s emerging good practice can be adapted for use in other countries. It will introduce you to the latest thinking about reforming the PFI so that it: Is less expensive and uses private sector innovation to deliver services more cost effectively Can access a wider range of financing sources, including encouraging a stronger role to be played by pension fund investment Strikes a better balance between risk and reward to the public sector Has greater flexibility to accommodate changing public service needs over time Maintains the incentive on the private sector to deliver capital projects to time and to budget and to take performance risk on the delivery of the services Delivers an accelerated and cheaper procurement process, and Gives greater financial transparency at all levels of the project so that the public sector can be confident it is getting what it paid for, and the taxpayer is sure he/she is getting a fair deal now and over the longer term. Who is it for? Our workshop is designed to meet the needs of senior staff from Ministries of Finance and Transport, senior road agency staff, bankers and financiers, parliamentarians, organisations planning to bid for PFI/PPP contracts from government and consultants advising these organisations and also senior staff from the education, health and justice sectors. How participants will benefit Attending the workshop will: Broaden your knowledge of PPP and PFI schemes, their advantages and disadvantages and the key conditions for their success Enable you to learn from the experience of public and private sector policy makers, administrators and managers Encourage you to review the UK experience in relation to the institutional capacity required to deliver efficient public services, using private sector providers Help you to consider what might be involved in applying the UK experience to your own country, and Enable you to exchange experience with counterparts in other countries dealing with problems that might lend themselves to a PPP/PFI approach. I found the workshop extremely useful. Nasser Tamei First Secretary, Papua New Guinea High Commission in London

3 What the workshop will cover We will focus on five key topics related to PFI/PPP schemes: The rationale behind PFI/PPP schemes, the differences between them and whether they offer value-for-money How to access private sector finance and the specifics of how to design and let a transport sector concession Outsourcing public sector management and maintenance to the private sector The wider policy issues affecting PFI/PPP schemes, including what bankers, debt rating agencies, and financial markets think about these schemes, and Essential conditions for the success of PFI/PPP schemes, including the regulatory framework (monitoring and applying penalties), what to do when a concession goes wrong, and building an intelligent client to manage concession projects. We aim to include presentations and discussions, briefings by senior government officials, bankers, concessionaires and specialists involved in designing and implementing PFI/PPP schemes. The workshop includes a site visit generally to a major Design, Build, Finance, Operate project, or to another Public Private Partnership to observe an example of a PPP/PFI scheme in action. There is also an extended case study exercise designed to examine how the lessons learned from the UK experience might be applied in other countries. A key element for sharing experience and good practice will be sessions where you are invited to give an informal presentation on issues relating to PPP/PPI from your own country. Please bring any relevant reports, key documents, etc with you.
