Risk Pricing Strategies for Public-Private Partnership Projects: 4 (Innovation in the Built Environment) - Tapa dura

The complexity of public-private partnership project procurement requires an effective process for pricing, managing and appropriate allocation of risks. The level at which risk is priced and the magnitude of risks transferred to the private sector will have a significant impact on the cost of the PPP deals as well as on the value for money analysis and on the section of the optimum investment options. The construction industry tends to concentrate on the effectiveness of risk management strategies and to some extent ignores the price of risk and its impact on whole life cost of building assets. There is a pressing need for a universal framework for the determination of fair value of risks throughout the PPP procurement processes. Risk Pricing Strategies for Public-Private Partnership Projects addresses the issues of risk pricing and demonstrates the use of a coherent strategy to arrive at a fair risk price. The focus of the book is on providing risk pricing strategies to maximise return on risk retention and allocation in the procurement of PPP projects. With its up-to-date coverage of the latest developments in risk pricing and comprehensive treatment of the methodologies involved in designing and building risk pricing strategies, the book offers a simple model for pricing risks. The book follows a thematic structure: PPP processes map; Risk, uncertainty and bias; Risk pricing management strategies; Risk pricing measurement and modelling; Risk pricing at each of the project life cycle stages and deals with all the important risk pricing issues, using relevant real-world situations through case study examples. It explains how the theory and strategies of risk pricing can be successfully applied to real PPP projects and reflects the broad understanding required by today s project risk analysts, in their new and important role in PPP contract management.

This book sets out the key principle strategies involved in risk pricing of PPP projects in a clear and accessible way and provides the reader with fundamental principles of risk pricing theories and enveloping processes. Each chapter treats specific aspects of risk in PPP projects, including:

• PPP process map
• Project risk management strategies
• Project risk measurement and modelling
• Strategies for risk pricing
• Risk pricing at each of the project life cycle stages
• Pricing project finance risks

The first two aspects provide the required background knowledge with which to conceptualise the main elements of risk management in the context of PPP procurement systems. Project risk measurement in then introduced with modelling methods that might be applicable in the process of risk pricing PPP projects. This is followed by a comprehensive introduction to an innovative framework for risk pricing of PPP projects. Finally, the book addressed risk pricing at each stage of PPP projects development and operation.

A thematic structure is used, dealing with all the important risk pricing issues, and relevant real-world situations are analysed through case study examples.
