Main Target

Public‐private‐partnership projects are long term, complex and very challenging contractual arrangements and relationships. They bring new roles for public sector and also for private sector in terms of construction and services. This paper will go through some features of the Finnish PPPs. Proactive law focuses in practical views as regards contract law and contractual issues. The main target is to prevent problems instead of confronting them. This paper will clarify what proactive law is about in terms of contract law and contracting especially in PPPs. For instance, 20–40 years’ partnership relation with PPPs brings up also dozens of different risks into the picture. This paper will discuss the risks and risk management in terms of proactive law and after that, focus on PPPs in Finland.

An exponential growth in elderly population reflects a proportional increase in recourses that are unaffordable and unsustainable to the economy. This rapid demand for health services and long-term care not only leads to non-financial implication like shortage of manpower and long waiting time, but this also creates a large burden on health and related services in the public sector. Involving the private sector to provide better and more efficient facilities and services and to encourage innovation will enhance productivity, speed up project and service delivery, and increase opportunities for investment in health. This chapter examines existing problems within health care systems in aging populations such as Hong Kong, explores the advantages and challenges of Public Private Partnership (PPP), identifies successful factors in establishing PPPs models, reviews the PPP projects in Hong Kong and elsewhere and recommends methods in promoting PPP in health and long-term care as sustainable solutions.

The development of the transport infrastructure of the region remains an important task, which today is solved by means of the mechanism of public-private partnership (PPP). At present, both a sufficient institutional environment and the regulatory support for the implementation of public-private partnership projects have already been created. Kherson region, having an average level of development of transport infrastructure, de facto occupies the near-border position. Therefore, the level of development of infrastructure of the region (in particular, road economy) is of significant strategic importance for the security of the State. The main tasks for the development of transport infrastructure of Kherson region and possible directions of implementation of infrastructure projects are defined. The study showed that only two projects that are not infrastructural are implemented on the basis of PPP in Kherson region. However, the concession of Kherson seaport has been launched – this project is pilot not only in the region, but also in Ukraine. Concluding a concession agreement in seaports is a complex and long-term procedure. Important in the agreement is the determination of the amount of concession payments and the distribution of risks between the project participants. Typically, concessionaires are large international companies (cargo owners or shipowners) or domestic industrial and financial groups that dictate the terms of the contract, so, accordingly, there may be a conflict of interest. This publication defines the essential conditions of this concession project. PPP projects in the road sphere are promising, which should solve a number of problems of the region. The airport «Kherson» is described as a concession object, the scheme of the PPP mechanism concerning it is proposed. It is determined that public-private partnership in the sphere of railway infrastructure is in the process of formation and determination of forms of cooperation.

The ability of regions to the competition in the international market to use of modern approaches to social and economic development, defines a vector of intensive advance of the Russian economy. Existence of worthy infrastructure and its full functioning become a guarantee of successful development of economy and social sphere of the country and particular regions. Therefore, for its updating and full functioning implementation of infrastructure projects is necessary. The specificity of implementation of infrastructure projects has been designated: excessive capital intensity, long payback periods, increased complexity and large scales (including territorial scales). Conditions of limited budgetary financing of infrastructure predetermine the need of attracting private investments. So, the mechanism of public-private partnership in the concept of long-term social and economic development of the Russian Federation up to 2020 is designated as one of priority tools, which emphasizes the importance of a problem. The potential of expansion of opportunities for implementation of infrastructure projects at the expense of mechanisms of public-private partnership has been studied. Special attention is paid to the practice of implementing infrastructure projects in the territory of the Astrakhan region. There have been presented practices of such projects, mainly in the form of concessions, strategic priorities of development of public-private partnership on the territory of the Astrakhan region for implementation of infrastructure projects. The Astrakhan shipbuilding production association is taken as an example of successful realization of public-private partnership mechanism. The leading shipbuilding and ship repairing plants of the region make its basis. There has been given the rating of the Russian regions in terms of the development of public-private partnership during 2017. Since 2015 there has been stated positive dynamics of development parameters of public-private partnership in the region. As of 2017, in the region there are realized eighteen projects, among which one project is of a regional level, and seventeen projects are the municipal events.

The Impact

Purpose Since the 1990s, the National Health Service (NHS)advisory officers have developed considerable expertise in managing the process of specifying, procuring, contracting and running public–private partnership (PPP) projects. However, there has been a relatively consistent trajectory in the findings of studies and evaluation of PPP from its initial introduction in the health sector in 1992 to the present time. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to critically evaluate the PPP experience in the UK context using a case study in the NHS. Design/methodology/approach The partnership literature is primarily focussed on process issues, and the impact of partnerships on improving outcomes cannot be assumed. By conducting a critical review on most updated research studies and innovative approaches in this area, the literature as to the place of PPPs in health in the context of the UK is critically explored and whether they have a role in system resilience is examined. A case study has be used as well to describing the processes of a PPP arrangement. Findings Health-care PPP is one of the options relating to health system resilience. However, their contribution in the NHS has been mixed, with success noted in short-term clinical and services contracts while in the long-term the value for money argument has not been proven. In theory, the role of PPPs in bringing together ingredients supporting system resilience such as finance, management and innovation in the UK has not always been successful, and NHS providers have taken the approach to exit such arrangements. Research limitations/implications More research work is needed to capture the 21st-century challenges and critical success factors during its implementation. Practical implications The creation of strong partnerships is moving service delivery away from a project-by-project approach to one that includes strategic and policy developments for long-term results. Originality/value This is a fresh discussion in the role of PPP in system resilience in the UK perspective through a case study describing an exit from a PPP arrangement.
