Private Sector Participation
� EBRD’s policy ‘Financing of Private Parties to Concessions’ requires competitive tendering and a specific process:
– http://www.ebrd.com/downloads/procurement/concess.pdf
� Which basic conditions foster PPP development:
– An adequate legal structure http://www.ebrd.com/pages/sector/legal/concessions/assessments.shtml
10
– Political will to champion PPP processes
– Robust tariff methodologies and competent regulator
– Sponsors’ interest, dependent on market and PPP structure
– Sufficient capital market development (local and international) for LT financing notably in local currency.

• Grant funded technical assistance
With bidders
• Pre-bidding dialogue with interested players
• Review of financing instruments (equity, debt) and indicative financing terms

11
• General letter of interest to finance
• EBRD cannot commit to exclusivity (‘open support’)
• After award, negotiation of detailed terms and conditions with the preferred bidder
