These guidelines cover the main approaches to project delivery and include: traditional contracting; alliance contracting; and public-private partnerships. These guidelines should not be seen as exhaustive but are intended to inform the development of policy by individual jurisdictions and support agencies that deliver infrastructure projects.

Alliance contracting is an integrated procurement method for infrastructure projects.

The National PPP Policy and Guidelines have been developed to provide a consistent framework that enables public and private sectors to work together to improve service delivery through private sector provision of public infrastructure and related services.
