Operis issues white paper on US PPP potential

Operis has published a white paper arguing that Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) should be considered as potential delivery models for US President Joe Biden’s Infrastructure Framework.

Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework includes some $550 billion in new infrastructure spending. Operis argues that, regardless of how the infrastructure is funded or financed, PPPs should be considered as a potential delivery model. The paper’s author, Carmen Wade, Operis Head of North America, believes PPPs should not be considered solely as a funding source: “Doing so undermines the extent of the value the procurement approach offers. Thinking of PPPs as simply a source of funding means many authorities, who don’t necessarily need funding, disregard the model and utilize sub-optimal delivery models and approaches for their infrastructure assets.”

The white paper is available for download via the Operis website.
