Public-private partnership (PPP)projects are gaining momentum globally as a means fordelivering infrastructure. Government capabilities toprepare, procure, and manage such projects are important toensure that the expected efficiency gains are achieved. Nosystematic data currently exist to measure thosecapabilities in governments. Benchmarking PPP Procurement2017 is the first attempt to collect and present comparableand actionable data on PPP procurement on a large scale, byproviding an assessment of the regulatory frameworks andrecognized practices that govern PPP procurement across 82economies. Benchmarking PPP Procurement 2017 presents ananalysis of targeted elements aggregated into four areasthat cover the main stages of the PPP projectcycle:preparation, procurement, and contract management ofPPPs, and management of unsolicited proposals (USPs). Usinga highway transport project as a case study to ensurecross-comparability, it analyzes the national regulatoryframeworks and presents a picture of the procurementlandscape at the end of March 2016. The average performancein each area varies across regions and income levels. FigureES.1 shows that the higher the income level of the group,the higher the performance in the four areas. The data alsoshow that the Organisation for Economic Cooperation andDevelopment (OECD) high income and Latin American andCaribbean regions perform at or above average. BenchmarkingPPP Procurement 2017 shows that across the four areasmeasured, mosteconomies fall short of good practice. Inparticular, a significant number of economies have lowscores in two areas: project preparation and contractmanagement. Consequently, there is room for improvementspecially in regulating the activities to be undertakenbefore launching the PPP procurement process as well as inpreparing for those that will follow after the signature ofthe PPP contract.
