Guidance for completing a qualitative assessment on a project's PPP suitability
These Guidelines require that a public infrastructure project with a total estimated capital value exceeding $200 million must be assessed for possible PPP procurement, having regard to value-for-money drivers as part of the Procurement Strategy.
The PPP Assessment Framework provides guidance to Responsible Agencies for completing a high-level qualitative assessment of whether a capital project is potentially suitable for a PPP. The assessment should be performed as soon as possible during the development of a Strategic Business Case or Procurement Strategy. Once complete, the assessment form must be submitted by the Responsible Agency to NSW Treasury. NSW Treasury will assess the submission and will formally advise whether it supports the Responsible Agency's recommendation.
The assessment form and information templates that the Responsible Agencies is required to submit to NSW Treasury can be found on the Policy, Guidelines and Publications page of the NSW Treasury Public Private Partnerships website.
If the qualitative assessment finds that the PPP model is a viable procurement option, subsequent consideration will be provided with respect to PPP structure, budget impact and accounting treatment.
