Abstract

This chapter first discusses the concept of risk generally and then specifically in relation to PPPs. The essence of a PPP is to achieve optimal risk allocation (note that risk is used here to include opportunities). Under traditional procurement, the risk assumed by the public sector when it owns and operates an infrastructure asset is often unvalued. What PPP ensures, through the involvement of the private sector, is that the risk is adequately and properly priced and then transferred to the party that is best able to manage it. The idea that risks should be properly mitigated will also be discussed. The chapter will examine the various risk mitigation measures open to the public and private sector partners in a PPP.

It has been argued in some quarters that this effectively makes the public the guarantors of the private sector.

See Allyson Pollock and David Price (2004) Public Risk Transfer for Private Gain? The Public Audit Implications of Risk Transfer and Private Finance, London: UNISON. In a study carried out on behalf of UNISON, the authors show that the structure of PPP deals obscures the relationship between risk and the risk premiums for two reasons: first, the SPV is merely a shell company and transfers risk to other companies through a variety of complex financial mechanisms, which makes it difficult to assess its value.

It is common practice to determine whether the value for money requirement has been met by comparing the benefits of financing a project through the use of PPPs or doing so through direct public procurement. This is usually achieved by using a PSC; that is, whether more value for money could have been better achieved if the project were done solely through public sector finance.
