New state-specific guidelines for Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in NSW

In brief – New PPP guidelines supercede 2006 guidelines

The NSW government has released the NSW Public Private Partnerships Guidelines (2012) to guide the delivery and procurement of infrastructure and services.

These state-specific guidelines came into effect on 15 August 2012 and supercede the NSW 2006 Working with Government: Guidelines for Privately Financed Projects in integrating principles of the National Public Private Partnerships Policy and Guidelines.

Guidelines aim to streamline approval process for PPPs

The 2012 guidelines are substantially based on the 2006 guidelines in streamlining the approval process for any procurement of infrastructure and associated services through public private partnerships.
