There are several factors and criteria that shall be taken into consideration and make sure that the results thereof benefit the public interest before considering PPP. The following are the most important cases and recommended standards by which the partnership shall be viable option in the presence of one or more thereof:
1. Federal Entities' financial resources or experience alone cannot provide the services and projects.
2. The private partner can raise the quality level of service in comparison with what can be provided by the Federal Entities depending on their own capabilities.
3. The private partner can implement services or projects faster than the government.
4. The private sector participation in the services provides an opportunity of innovation and creativity.
5. Creating an opportunity to increase the competition between the potential private partners. This reduces the cost of providing public services.
6. Lack of regulatory or legal objections for involving the private sector in the provision of service or project.
7. The outputs or service outcome can be easily measured and priced.
8. The cost of the service can be restored by applying or imposing fees on the user.
9. Using the partnership may provide opportunities to increase the economic growth.
If any of the above-mentioned factors or criterion is not available, the PPP shall not be considered.
