Main message
Always consider for the realisation of future large rail investments if the
benefits of a PPP approach outweigh the inherent problems
What is a Public Private Partnership
?
Characteristics of a PPP:
A. Public control and policy through private execution
B. Integration of Design, Build, Finance and Operate/Maintain.
C. Allocation of risk to the party that can best manage it.
D. The public sector receives a service not a product.
E. LT (investment life-cycle) relation.
Evolution of thinking
In earlier centuries most infrastructure was in private hands (Michael Klein)
The nationalisation periodMargaret Thatcher in the UK (80’s)Private Finance (budget restrictions)Demand risk to the private sectorValue for money – availability contracts
Why do we do this ?
Lack of capital ? Private Sector is always better ? Private competition against a public
benchmark!
But also: Project life cycle approach (service approach) Use of private sector capabilities (innovations,
incentives, economies of scale) Public sector reform ?

Facts and Figures
• 15 million passengers
50% national / 50% international
• Ready 2006/7
contract award civils: 2000
contract award IP: 2001
• Infra: 96 km new track
• State of the art technology
PPP contract characteristics
• Scope: design and build new systems operate and maintain al new infra
• Terms: 5+25 years• Size: over 1 billion Euro• Type: DBFM• Interfaces: civils works, existing rail
infra, train operations• Payments are based on availability

Payment during constr. phaseTransferPayment during operations
Availability is key concept
• IP paid on availability of the service; no payments for products.
• IP receives no payments during construction.
• Hence: the State procures a service rather than a product.
Outcomes
HSL will have a 99% availability (output indicator)
Private investment of > 1 bn.More budget certainty.Through innovations and contracting
less expensive than the traditional alternative
Coffee break
What parties were involved?
A. The State
B. Private parties
C. Advisors
The State = Client (1)
Public service (which needs an initial investment)
Extensive decision making process Focus on annual budget and less on
Value for Money through PPPAverse to risks and responsibilitiesConditionality of scope remains through
out the process
The State = Client (2)
Conditions for success:
Good preparation, know what you want Be a reliable and stable partner Have upfront public-public agreements Understand where the private sector is
coming from Good contracting skills
Contractor/ Maintenance company
• Contractor is responsible for the Design and Build (subcontract) to completion
• After that the Operate and Maintenance company takes over for the whole contract duration
→Who is for the procurement the most important?
Contractor versus other financiers (2)
• The contractor (industrial sponsor) is sometimes willing to accept lowing revenues and a higher risk in order to get the project
• The other investors look for a low risk and stable high long term revenues
The role of the banks (1)
• Major involvement in bidding process
• Technical, legal and financial due diligence
• Interest is depending on the cash flows of the project (project finance)
• Tight financial conditions (ratio’s)
The banks as debt providers (2)
Banks don’t like risk !!!
No more than 4% of all projects may go wrong.→ All risks have to be well allocated (back to back)
The advisors
Technical, legal and financial advisors are necessary !!!
→ Please note: both the Client and the bidders have their own advisors
What does this imply for the public sector?
Public sector implications (as a condition for success):
More focus on the delivery of policies and less on specifying technical details
Able to understand private sector objectives and incentives
Be a reliable partnerEnhance PPP and contracting skills???
Should you consider PPP with the upcoming Slovenian rail
projects?
