“…Overall, the breadth of public infrastructure makes it difficult to draw a coherent picture on the general appropriateness of public-private partnerships (Roehrich et al 2014). Many researchers agree, however, that making partnerships work (Warsen et al 2018) depends on various structural and process elements (Bryson et al 2006(Bryson et al , 2015Ysa 2007). These elements are internal to public-private partnerships (as opposed to external conditions that are industry specific) and we label them as 'internal elements' in the following.…”

Since 1987, members of the United Nations have strived for improving sustainability to fulfill the vision of sustainable development. Current discussions focus on the role of collaborations between public and private actors to realize social, ecological, and economic sustainability. This study explores how public–private partnerships may contribute to the achievement of sustainability-related outcomes by analyzing a longitudinal case in the German public bathing and swimming pool sector. The empirical findings illustrate how both external conditions, such as regulation or industry-self regulation, and internal elements, such as specific structure and process elements of the public–private partnership, contribute to sustainability-related outcomes. Results reveal an interaction of specific external conditions and some internal elements. Our findings serve as a starting point for further empirical investigations of the sustainable provision of public services via public–private partnerships, and form a basis for theory development. The revealed insights result in practical implications for partners involved in public–private partnerships.

“…According to previous studies, the characteristics of PPPs include cooperation; durable relationships; development of mutual products/services; sharing of risks, costs, and benefits; and mutual value addition-most of which are closely related to the relational aspect [32]. The results of a survey based on Dutch PPP projects suggest that both trust and management correlate significantly with perceived performance, although more case studies are needed to further consolidate these findings [33]. It is also discussed by some other papers that the quality of the contract, interaction, managerial activities, and trust jointly steer the performance of PPPs [34,35].…”

China’s Serious Disease Insurance Scheme (SDIS) was set up to relieve the financial burdens on serious disease patients. It is a crucial part of the national basic medical insurance scheme, which is regarded as one of the largest government-funded social security programs in the world. The most significant institutional innovation of the SDIS is that the approach of a public–private partnership (PPP) is applied in an attempt to facilitate the efficiency of its implementation. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the implementation of the SDIS in China through PPPs, and to identify the problems to be tackled if the Chinese government intends to make such a plan work better for the majority of urban and rural residents. With the effective support from local officials and practitioners, the authors of this paper collected copies of SDIS contracts of multiple cities in Guangdong, one of the most developed provinces of China. Guided by a research framework drawn from the PPP literature, details of contract enforcement were also examined. The authors discovered that the role of local states is rather dominant; they have manipulated contract drafting and implementation. Additionally, current mechanisms for profit sharing, risk sharing, and information exchange have placed insurance companies in a rather disadvantageous situation. To achieve the sustainable development of the SDIS, the authors suggest that a further reform on implementation of a PPP must be pushed forward.

“…Incessant change in government owing to political instability breeds a lack of trust among key stakeholders. This is perceived as taking risks because partners become vulnerable to opportunistic behavior (Warsen et al, 2018). PPPs are known to be long term contracts; however, due to lack of continuity, new governments in most developing countries including Nigeria come in with a new set of agenda and priority leading review of already awarded contracts and in extreme cases, outright cancellation of such projects.…”

Studies have shown that project risks are responsible for the failure of most Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects. The study examined the critical risk factors associated with PPP housing projects. Data for the research was obtained through a questionnaire. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and mean ratings. Corruption and bribery among contracting parties (0.681), Exchange rate volatility (0.621) Availability of development funds (0.599) and Change in government (0.580) were the critical risk factors identified. The study also indicated that project cost is highly influenced by lack of development funds and changes in interest rates. The quality of PPP housing projects in Abuja was found to be influenced by partner selection risks. The study suggested a competitive, transparent, and efficient bid process to eliminate corruption, workable strategies for ensuring the availability of development funds at a cheaper rate and adopting mixed strategy in which government continues to provide social housing to the low-income class while providing the enabling environment for the private sector to thrive.
