| The Public Private Partnerships (PPP) initiative was | formally introduced during last year’s budget speech and is now a key item on Government's agenda. It represents an innovative approach to the roles that the public and private sectors are to adopt within the context of this initiative. By drawing on the competencies of both the public and private sectors, PPPs aim to improve Government services through investment, improved management and resource utilisation free from the inherent constraints of the Public Service while enhancing the potential of Public Service employees. |
| Following the budget speech, a PPP Steering Committee | was established to provide strategic direction to Government’s PPP programme. A Public Private Partnerships Unit will be established within the Management and Personnel Office in the Office of the Prime Minister to drive this initiative. |
| Government will be seeking partnerships with the | private sector in the delivery of certain services where these will provide better value for money to the public. Such partnerships will also involve the management of specific services as entire functions comprising the management of existing assets, technical and human resources by the private partner for the duration of the contractual agreement. |
| The pilot project of the Public Private Partnership | programme focuses on landscaping, embellishment and related initiatives with the objective to enhance Malta’s environment to the benefit of the general public and tourists. |
| Judging by the large turnout of entrepreneurs and the | significant queries made at the briefing session held at the Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday 6th November, 2001 the initiative has generated interest amongst leading private entities in the proposed partnership. Through this Partnership, the prospective private partner/s will engage Government employees presently carrying out landscaping and gardening operations, embellish arterial, distributor roads and identified public gardens and parks and the environment in general. Moreover the selected partner/s shall undertake other gardening, landscaping and embellishment functions and related initiatives and be entitled to utilise certain Government sites for commercial purposes. |
