Group aims & objectives
PPP is currently of major interest to risk managers and other professionals working in the public sector, due to the Government inclination for major procurement contracts to follow this route. The public sector is interested in gaining further knowledge of the risks involved with this procurement route, and also how to allocate those risks in the interests of achieving best value.
Likewise the PFI providers and operators, together with funders and insurers have enormous interest in ascertaining the risks involved with the 25 - 30 year transfer of risk to the private sector.
Members of the Institute of Risk Management have set up this PPP/PFI Special Interest Group specifically to offer an informal forum for all stakeholders to the PPP/PFI process to exchange views on risk in PPP/PFI, including views on risk retention, transfer, pricing and allocation. It is proposed the meetings will be held quarterly, mainly in London but also at other locations to suit the subject matter.
