Many of the issues addressed within the contract will directly or indirectly be affected by other policy and regulatory frameworks which may or may not be specific to Public Private Partnerships but which must be explicitly considered in the development of a successful PPP contract. Some of these issues would include:
- Forms and timing of restructurings allowed
- Nature and duration of any exclusivity or restrictions on competing facilities
- "Social" composition of user base (unintended social consequences)
- Idiosynchrancies / uncertainty in forecasting models
- Policy/rights retained and related to sequestration, forfeiture, withholding or suspension of guarantees, liability allocation and third party liability
