The legal basis of procurement

Each country has its own unique approach to soliciting and evaluating PPP project proposals. Many countries have special legal instruments concerning PPPs. It is likely that the procurement process is also outlined in their legal instruments. In other countries where there is no such special law on PPPs, governments normally follow a procurement process in line with the general public procurement process of the country. Considering the complexity of PPP procurement compared with conventional public procurement, some countries have outlined detailed steps to be followed in a PPP procurement process.
