The successful bidders on large-scale infrastructure projects are often consortia consisting of several large multinational companies with in-depth experience in building and operating the type of infrastructure asset in question. This experience means that considerable expertise has been gained over decades of working on numerous similar projects, expertise that can help create better solutions to meet functional needs. The government agency, board or ministry responsible for a hospital infrastructure project may not have built a new facility in decades, whereas the bidders seeking to build the project under a PPP arrangement will likely have built many similar facilities. The government, and by extension taxpayers and users of the facility, benefit from this experience if the infrastructure is procured by PPP.
