About opportunity of foreign experience application of public-private partnership in construction

The article discusses the possibilities of applying foreign experience in using public-private partnerships (PPP) in construction, presents classifications of forms of public-private partnerships. In economic practice, in addition to traditional construction contracts in a number of developing foreign countries, combinations of service contracts, management contracts, leases, construction, operation, transfer and variety of contracts, concessions have found wide application. The development of PPPs led to contracts with a long warranty period (up to 10 years), after which the operation and maintenance services were added to the contract throughout the warranty period of the contract. To reduce the cost of operating the facility, a private partner has the motivation to apply modern and effective solutions at the design stage. The forms directly related to construction are considered in more detail. On the basis of foreign experience, contractor relations in Russia and the possibility of applying contracts based on foreign forms were evaluated. The most significant are the following forms: Design-Construction, Construction-Operation-Transfer, Construction-Transfer-Operation, Property-Operation-Transfer, Construction-Property-Operation, Design-Finance-Construction-Operation, Construction-Rent-Transfer-Maintenance, Rent-Repair-Operation-Transfer. In the Russian practice, contractual relations are based on the separation of the forms “Design” and “Construction”, while the outdated form in the developed foreign countries “Design-Construction” is considered progressive in the domestic economy. For the development of the construction industry, it is necessary not only to consider the classification of PPP forms, but also to provide for the possibility of using the evolutionary development of contractual relations that have passed in foreign practice and the possibility of using them in the Russian economy.
