II.1) DESCRIPTION
II.1.1) Title attributed to the contract by the contracting authority:
UK-India: support to the public private partnership (ppp) technical
secretariat in Orissa.
II.1.2) Type of contract and location of works, place of delivery or of
performance: Services.
Service category: No 11.
Main place of performance: India.
II.1.3) The notice involves: A public contract.
II.1.5) Short description of the contract or purchase(s): The objective
of the proposed Technical Assistance is to build capacity within the
Government of Orissa for increased public private partnership (PPP) in
infrastructure development and service delivery, especially Health and
Education, in line with the objectives of the IPR (Industrial Policy
Resolution) 2001. The broad scope of work for the support will include:
provide technical support to the PPP Secretariat in the Planning &
Coordination department, evaluation and close deals of the PPP proposals
received from the departments, interaction with the user departments for
creating larger shelf of PPP projects and explore approaches to PPP in the
education, health and skill development. The Orissa PPP program has been
one of the greatest successes of DFID's assistance to Orissa under the IPR
program. Not only has the profile of the state for PPP investment improved
dramatically, there have been high profile PPP deals, such as, commercial
complex, IT Park in Bhubaneswar and Rourkela, Housing complex for poorer
sections and others. Critically a PPP Policy has been notified and a PPP
institutional arrangement has been instituted. However there are many
challenges most critical of them is to strengthen the institutional
arrangement. In the absence of support to implement the arrangement
envisaged in the Policy the institutional arrangement might not sustain.
The benefits from this have to be reaped by the state by broad basing PPP
to Health and Education. This would require innovation at a significant
level since there are few examples of successful PPP programs in these
sectors. Full details are available in the Terms of Reference.
