What is a Public-Private Partnership?
A public-private partnership (P3) can be defined as an infrastructure project in which a private contractor:
- provides some or all of the financing for the project;
- designs and builds the project, often providing operations and maintenance for the project, and often backed by an “extended warranty”; and
- receives payments from the government over an extended period of time, subject to deductions for failing to meet contractually defined performance standards.
