Public-private partnerships framework policy : Politique-cadre sur les partenariats public-privé

Moreover, at the end of the agreement, the government may become the sole owner of the infrastructures in question. [...] The method we are presenting today is designed to ensure that for each and every project studied, the government selects the arrangement that offers the greatest value for the public funds invested. [...] With the collaboration of all involved, through this public-private partnerships framework policy and the implementation of the Agence des partenariats public-privé du Québec, the government has adopted additional tools to ensure that our infrastructures are modernized at the lowest possible cost to the population. [...] PUBLIC BODIES With regard to the PPP policy, public bodies are responsible for: • selecting the projects for which the PPP option is considered as of the strategic planning stage, using the PPP project selection criteria (cf. [...] Section 1.2); • obtaining the approval required regarding the affordability of the solutions selected; • working with the Agency to proceed at project value for money analysis, particularly in terms of project-related technical assessments; • working with the Agency to implement the procurement process; • PPP project accountability.
