How public private partnerships can help US infrastructure build back better
Operis, a leading advisor in project and infrastructure finance, has published a white paper arguing that Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) should be considered as potential delivery models for US president Joe Biden's Infrastructure Framework.
President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework includes some $550billion in new infrastructure spending. Operis argues in "Build Back Better - How PPP can support Biden's BBB plan" that, regardless of how the infrastructure is funded or financed, PPPs should be considered as a potential delivery model. The paper's co-author Carmen Wade, Operis Head of North America, believes PPPs should not be considered solely as a funding source.
She said: "Doing so undermines the extent of the value the procurement approach offers. Thinking of PPPs as simply a source of funding means many authorities, who don't necessarily need funding, disregard the model and utilize sub-optimal delivery models and approaches for their infrastructure assets."
The white paper is available for download via the Operis website.
