Legal Framework of Public-Private Partnership Contract Management in Varies Countries: Recommendations for Türkiye

Abstract

Public-private partnerships emerge as an alternative financing method in providing public services for developing countries. Effective contract management is an important element for these high-risk and complex projects. For this reason, in the study, a literature review was conducted on contract management in public private partnerships and a framework was presented by determining the main activities for contract management in public private partnerships. Then, the laws and regulations in the developing countries of Brazil, Kenya, Kosovo, the Philippines and Turkiye were examined comparatively within this framework. As a result of the study, regulations were found for the establishment of administration and contract management team, planning, establishment and execution of contract management, managing contract changes, managing performance and contract termination and asset transfer, in these five countries examined. However, it has been concluded that there are deficiencies in the legal framework regarding risk management, monitoring and evaluation and relationship management, which are important criteria of contract management. Both activities are critical for successful contract management in public private partnership projects. In this context, recommendations have been made for Turkiye.
