framework
Policy
recommendation
measures
2. Pre-tendering decision
process
 Screening for PPP
suitability
 Special arrangements
for PPPs
 Describe the use and types of PPPs pre-tender
studies performed before the launch of the PPP
transport projects, such as willingness to pay
surveys
 Analyze the governance of the preparation of
the pre-tender studies and describe roles and
responsibilities of such analysis, including the
role of the private sector to propose initiatives
 Examine scientific approaches, methods, and
techniques used to forecast future demand
(traffic)
 Analyze the way scenario analyses are
incorporated into feasibility studies of PPP
projects and sensitivity analyses implemented
 Confirm the use of public sector comparators to
support the decision-making process to launch
PPP transport projects
 Describe the approaches adopted to involve the
transport and financing industries in PPPs, i.e.
the degree of participation of stakeholders such
as private parties, local governments, and sector
organizations in the transport PPP projects and
their preparation
 Describe the approaches adopted to promote
PPPs to the public when implementing the PPP
transport projects e.g. public campaigns to
persuade/communicate with the
citizens/residents regarding the need for a PPP
project, and/or realization of public inquiries
and debates
 Examine the criteria adopted to assess risks (e.g.
their likelihood and possible impact of their
consequences) and/or prioritize them
 Screening for PPP suitability: What does the choice between
PPP or traditional public procurement base upon? Is there
evidence of the use of public sector comparators to support the
decision-making process to launch PPP transport projects?
What are the roles and responsibilities in the process of
preparation of the pre-tender studies (including the role of the
private sector in proposing initiatives)?
 Special arrangements for PPPs : What types of PPPs pre-
tender studies (such as willingness to pay surveys) are
performed before the launch of the PPP transport projects?
How are they incorporated in the project design? How are the
scenario analyses incorporated into feasibility studies of PPP
projects? Which approaches are adopted to promote PPPs to
the public when implementing the PPP transport projects (e.g.
public campaigns to persuade/communicate with the
citizens/residents regarding the need for a PPP project, and/or
realization of public inquiries and debates? What are the
criteria adopted to assess risks (e.g. their likelihood and
possible impact of their consequences)?
 Procedural
measures
 Technical measures
 Statistics and
surveys
 Capacity-building
3. Procurement and
contracting
 Procurement
 Provide an overview of the procurement
strategies and routes adopted to develop and
implement projects up to finalization of their
construction/rehabilitation and where
 Procurement strategies: What are the main the procurement
strategies adopted to develop and implement projects? What
are the main drivers behind the identification and choice of the
procurement different routes?
 Legislative
measures
 Procedural
measures
