There is a considerable body of knowledge that already exists regarding how to draft input specifications for traditional ‘public works’ projects with a view to achieving a high degree of quality in the resulting asset. However, the GI Hub believes that there is less understanding of how to properly draft output specifications to achieve a quality PPP project. This Guidance Note on Output Specifications for Quality Infrastructure Public-Private Partnership Projects (the Guidance Note) is designed to improve the global understanding of this subject, to help governments that wish to provide their citizens with quality infrastructure assets and services.
To develop the Guidance Note, a two-phase process is underway, with this Initial Report documenting the first phase. Specifically, this Initial Report provides:
details of the current work and current level of incorporation of Quality Infrastructure (QI) focus areas in the development of output specifications (Section 2 of this Initial Report);
an introduction to the real-world, practical experiences in this area (Section 3 of this Initial Report); and
a description of the methodology to be followed in preparing the final Guidance Note (Section 4 of this Initial Report).
