The term Public Private Partnerships (PPP) is increasingly used to embrace the range of options now available to policy makers who need to choose the best combination of supply sources for a particular activity. Today, there is wider acceptance that competition has a role to play in the provision of efficient services to the public.
This programme equips managers to address the strengths, weaknesses and relevance of their options analytically and objectively:
- Should the service remain in the public sector but with performance enhancements?
- Should it be contracted out or outsourced, possibly to the Voluntary sector?
- Should it be fully or partially privatised?
- Or should it be provided by a joint venture between the public and private sectors, a true public private Partnership?
