Please ask for clarifications !!!
Main message
Always consider for the realisation of
future large rail investments if the
benefits of a PPP approach outweigh
the inherent problems
What is a Public Private
Partnership
?
Characteristics of a PPP:
A. Public control and policy through private
execution
B. Integration of Design, Build, Finance and
Operate/Maintain.
C. Allocation of risk to the party that can best
manage it.
D. The public sector receives a service not a
product.
E. LT (investment life-cycle) relation.
Evolution of thinking
In earlier centuries most infrastructure
was in private hands (Michael Klein)
The nationalisation period
Margaret Thatcher in the UK (80’s)
Private Finance (budget restrictions)
Demand risk to the private sector
Value for money – availability contracts
Why do we do this ?
 Lack of capital ?
 Private Sector is always better ?
 Private competition against a public
benchmark!
But also:
 Project life cycle approach (service approach)
 Use of private sector capabilities (innovations,
incentives, economies of scale)
 Public sector reform ?
The High Speed rail Line
What is HSL-South?
Amsterdam
Schiphol
Rotterdam
Breda
Antwerp
Brussels
London
Paris
Facts and Figures
• 15 million passengers
50% national / 50% international
• Ready 2006/7
contract award civils: 2000
contract award IP: 2001
• Infra: 96 km new track
• State of the art technology
PPP contract characteristics
• Scope: design and build new systems
operate and maintain al new infra
• Terms: 5+25 years
• Size: over 1 billion Euro
• Type: DBFM
• Interfaces: civils works, existing rail
infra, train operations
• Payments are based on availability
Private finance
Infraprovider
Civil works
Government
Transport
Companies
Payment during constr. phase
Transfer
Payment during operations
Availability is key concept
• IP paid on availability of the service; no
payments for products.
• IP receives no payments during
construction.
• Hence: the State procures a service
rather than a product.
Outcomes
HSL will have a 99% availability (output
indicator)
Private investment of > 1 bn.
More budget certainty.
Through innovations and contracting
less expensive than the traditional
alternative
Coffee break
What parties were involved?
A. The State
B. Private parties
C. Advisors
The State = Client (1)
Public service (which needs an initial
investment)
Extensive decision making process
Focus on annual budget and less on
Value for Money through PPP
Averse to risks and responsibilities
Conditionality of scope remains through
out the process
The State = Client (2)
Conditions for success:
 Good preparation, know what you want
 Be a reliable and stable partner
 Have upfront public-public agreements
 Understand where the private sector is
coming from
 Good contracting skills
Contractor/ Maintenance
company
• Contractor is responsible for the Design
and Build (subcontract) to completion
• After that the Operate and Maintenance
company takes over for the whole
contract duration
→Who is for the procurement the most
important?
Contractor versus other
financiers (2)
• The contractor (industrial sponsor) is
sometimes willing to accept lowing
revenues and a higher risk in order to get
the project
• The other investors look for a low risk and
stable high long term revenues
The role of the banks (1)
• Major involvement in bidding process
• Technical, legal and financial due
diligence
• Interest is depending on the cash flows
of the project (project finance)
• Tight financial conditions (ratio’s)
The banks as debt providers (2)
Banks don’t like risk !!!
 No more than 4% of all projects may go wrong.
→ All risks have to be well allocated (back to back)
The advisors
Technical, legal and financial
advisors are necessary !!!
→ Please note: both the Client and the bidders have their
own advisors
What does this imply for the
public sector?
Public sector implications (as a
condition for success):
More focus on the delivery of policies
and less on specifying technical details
Able to understand private sector
objectives and incentives
Be a reliable partner
Enhance PPP and contracting skills
???
Should you consider PPP with
the upcoming Slovenian rail
projects?
