Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) seek to leverage private sector capital, transfer risk and enhance service delivery. The key tests for a PPP are affordability, value for money and appropriate risk transfer to the private sector. SSI seeks to encourage partnerships of this nature as the South African government intensifies its drive for service delivery and economic growth in the country.
We are well positioned to partner and advise clients wishing to pursue PPPs, both in an advisory capacity and as a partner in project development. In this arena, SSI has a solid track record and reputation in a wide range of sectors, including transportation, water and sanitation and municipal services delivery.
SSI has also created a dedicated entity — the Project Finance and Development Unit (PFDU) —to co-ordinate and develop initiatives within the group, providing clients with a single point of contact.
SSI’s extensive and specialised expertise provides a solid base for involvement in project finance and development, a focus strongly aligned with the strategy of our international partner, the DHV Group, one of the largest consulting engineering companies in Europe. Through this relationship with DHV, our clients enjoy access to a broad spectrum of international expertise and experience.
SSI has also established an extensive network of alliances and associations with leading organisations providing financial, legal and environmental advisory services in the PPP project environment.
