Risk Management for Public-Private Partnerships: Using Scenario Planning and Valuation Methods

In both developing and developed economies, several governments are considering Public Private Partnerships (PPP) such as design-build (DB), build-operate-transfer (BOT), and build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT) schemes for multibillion-dollar mega infrastructure projects. These schemes come with various political, financial, and legal risks in both socioeconomic settings. This paper discusses sources of risk in the Boston’s Central Artery/Tunnel and Channel Tunnel Projects, some of the most notable megaprojects in the world, and introduces applications of scenario planning and valuation methodologies to create scenario-based or dynamic contracts to manage selected risks in BOT and BOOT schemes. Such contracts can insulate better the contractor and enable host governments to provide more favorable conditions for infrastructure systems delivery that are more attractive to potential contractors.
