Abstract | This toolkit is intended for use by government staff and advisers as they implement a private sector participation option. It offers guidance on the process by which a government fine-tunes the option it has chosen, makes the legal and regulatory changes necessary for this option, and develops and enters into a contract with the private sector. It thus provides a procedural framework for refining and implementing the policy decisions discussed in toolkit 1. The detailed content of regulations and contracts is covered in toolkit 3. The procedural issues discussed in this toolkit are most relevant for arrangements in which the private sector takes on a substantial role - management contracts, leases, build-operate-transfer (BOT) contracts, concessions, or divestitures. The toolkit focuses on such areas as the structure of the government unit set up to manage the design and implementation of a private sector arrangement, the hiring of consultants to assist with the process, the steps in the process and the critical path through these steps, and the design and management of bidding for the private sector contract.
