Procurement Risks that Impact P3 Success – Panel Discussion

Panelist: Andrés Giraldo, WSP

The U.S. market is still relatively new to utilizing the P3 process in comparison to other markets globally. Many states lack P3 legislation and those that do often struggle with the execution of the deal and operations. Public Agencies frequently treat the procurement of P3s as traditional procurements, overlooking the unique challenges in this first critical phase of the project. In doing so, they introduce risks that impact the project success such as bidder engagement and team withdrawals, private equity financing, and delays during negotiation to financial close.
