In an increasingly competitive global environment of population growth and demand for infrastructure, governments around the world are focusing on new ways to finance projects, build infrastructure and deliver services.

Public-private partnerships (PPP’s or P3’s) have become a common tool in combining the strengths of both sectors. In addition to augmenting efficiencies and innovations of private enterprise, PPP’s are able to provide much needed capital to finance government programs and projects, thereby emancipating public funds for other core social and economic agendas.

Since inception of the model in the early 1990’s, PPP’s have grown in size, complexity and value. These complexities demand that resource suppliers possess a deep understanding of the model, to include contractual structure, risk transfer, payment mechanisms, technical due diligence and a suite of other challenges endemic to this style of project.

Bradfield Associates has demonstrated its understanding of the delivery model and engaged a vast network of PPP professionals in support of projects around the globe.

Our consultants have an intimate knowledge of the intricacies that exist within the PPP framework. We believe this to be a crucial skill set, as it allows clients to accurately describe their objectives and requirements with the assurance we understand the dynamics of a vacancy and its broader function across a component of the project or holistic program.

We understand the critical mandate of project company boards in steering and governance of successful PPP’s and have introduced a suite of executives at this level, across multiple programs.

At the contractor level, our business has worked with specialist D&C, O&M and FM delivery partners in ensuring horizontal equilibrium is achieved during all ‘communication critical’ stages of the PPP lifecycle.

We work with clients throughout the following stages:

• Pre-contract/EOI

• Tender, Contract Negotiation and Financial Close

• Project Mobilisation

• Engineering & Procurement

• Design & Construction

• Commissioning & Completion

• Commercial Acceptance

• Commencement of O&M

Bradfield Associates has assisted clients in appointing corporate executives for a range of long-term investors and sponsors. Our interface with PPP project company board members has enabled us to observe first-hand, the critical drivers of equity participants in the live project domain. These observations predicate our success in engaging financial experts with proven skills in origination, asset management, refinancing and divestment activities.

It is our appreciation of the critical factors of time, value for money and risk that have enabled us to appoint elite performers with an untarnished record of success throughout the global PPP domain.
