Abstract
Public private partnership (PPP) is a rapidly growing means of procuring
infrastructure asset and their associated services. This research focused on the
challenges encountered during the tendering and negotiation phase of the PPP
project procurement. The aim of the study is to assess the perception of
construction professionals on the attributes affecting contract negotiation of
Project Sponsors and concessionaires of PPP projects in Nigeria. Following the
identification of the attributes affecting contract negotiation of PPP from
literature, a questionnaire survey was developed and the responses obtained were
used to assess the perception of Nigerian construction professionals having some
PPP experience on the relative significance of the project sponsors and
concessionaires attributes based on five-point Likert rating scale from 1
“insignificant” to 5 “extremely significant”, statistical analysis using SPSS 20th
edition was carried on the data generated. The result showed that; appointing a
dedicated bid manager, robustness of outline technical proposal, level of financial
guarantees provided/proposed by the concessionaires, level of reputation enjoyed
by the organization, ability to effectively establish the project parameters and
ability to offer tax concession or flexible tax regime are the most influencing
attributes that have significant bearing on the efficiency of pre-contract processes.
Whilst there was broad agreement on the ranking of importance for the various
descriptive attributes, differences between the sectors are revealed relating to
organizational nature and strength, organizational capabilities, technical
capabilities and financial capabilities of the parties. This implies that these
attributes may serve as a good baseline to both project sponsors and
concessionaire in the negotiation of PPP projects which in effect may reduce the
xii
misunderstanding that arise during the tendering and negotiation processes. The
study concludes that a better understanding of what is important to each party in
the negotiation is an important step in improving the PPP process.
