PPP projects are mainly initiated by the government, supplemented by spontaneous enterprises. If it is a self-initiated enterprise, the enterprise shall put forward a project proposal at the project initiation stage. From the preparation of the project feasibility report to the invitation of the consulting company, the enterprise sponsors bear the upfront expenses, and the enterprise sponsors can incorporate their own design schemes into the feasibility study, which can greatly improve the efficiency of the upfront project.
In reality, most PPP projects initiated by enterprises will eventually win the bid as the social capital of PPP projects through competitive procedures. If the social capital sponsor fails to win the bid, the government can compensate the relevant upfront expenses. Usually, it is indicated in the tender announcement: "This PPP project is initiated by social capital. If the social capitalist fails to win the bid in the public bidding stage, the social capitalist who finally wins the bid will make reasonable compensation for the necessary expenses paid by the social capitalist in the early stage, and the compensation standard is * * 10,000 yuan. "
2. Authorized executing agency
After the project is initiated, the government needs to authorize the implementing agency, usually in the form of government meeting minutes or written reply. Even if social capital is initiated, the government needs to authorize another implementing agency to implement the PPP project. Relevant functional departments or institutions designated by the government can be used as project implementation agencies, specifically responsible for project preparation, procurement, supervision and handover.
In addition to determining a department as the implementing agency, it is also necessary to establish a work coordination mechanism, set up a PPP leading group at the same level of government, or let the local PPP center be responsible for the overall coordination and implementation of the project.
