Public-Private Partnership, Buildings Energy Efficiency and Social Housing: Renewed Tools to Satisfy Emerging Needs. Empirical Findings From a Comparative Analysis of Italian Experiences

Purpose A study of the current practices for evaluating the ex-post performance of public-private partnership (PPP) school projects in Australia via literature review and qualitative case studies has found that no consistent approach exists for evaluating operational performance. A detailed critique of international PPP audits and practices has identified existing gaps in ex-post performance evaluation. Through a process of comparative analysis and industry confirmation, a performance analysis technique aligned with international practice has been developed that can be utilised by the educational departments across Australia to evaluate the ex-post performance of PPP projects (PPPs). The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach This paper opted for qualitative archival analysis of case studies using pattern matching, explanation building, time series, and comparative analysis. The data used for document analysis included value reports, project summaries, and contract documents, as well as local and international audit guidelines. Findings This paper reviewed current practices, identified a range of processes, and reported the best practices. However, consideration of the approaches taken in the UK and Australia for evaluating operational performance indicates that current techniques lack consistency. Research limitations/implications The developed ex-post performance measurement framework is limited to Australian PPP school projects and, at this stage, cannot be generalised to other social PPP projects. Practical implications The paper includes implications for the development of better performance evaluation practices and audits. Social implications An enhanced framework for measuring operational performance will increase the accountability of taxpayers in the content of their utilisation by the government. Originality/value This paper presents an enhanced ex-post performance measurement framework for education departments across Australia.

European countries are recognized leaders in the use of public-private partnerships in project management for large-scale infrastructure projects, including those that contribute to energy efficiency in various sectors of the economy. Their experience is a useful example for Ukraine in its quest for energy independence and economic stability. Establishing partnerships with business will increase the resources of the state and promote the involvement of the private sector in the implementation of profitable and image projects for both stakeholders. The development of mechanisms and recommendations for the development of public-private partnership (PPP) should be preceded by an analysis of international experience in creating a favorable and attractive environment in which public-private partnerships can be intensified. Since energy efficiency is the key to the successful functioning of the economy of any state, it is necessary, creating the conditions for the successful functioning of public-private partnership, to develop programs and projects to improve energy efficiency, which will be implemented under the PPP on a priority basis.
