Resumen

The Comprehensive Public-Private Partnership Act, comprising 96 articles distributed across eleven Parts, serves as a thorough framework designed to facilitate successful collaborations between the public and private sectors. Its primary objective is to offer guidance on the initiation, administration, and conclusion of such partnerships, prioritizing transparency, accountability, and efficiency. The Act applies to projects executed through the Public-Private Partnership Office - as designated in this legislation, taking the place of the former Public-Private Partnership Unit established under the repealed Act -, and those undertaken under a public-private partnership agreement. It outlines rules and regulations governing the establishment of partnerships between the public and private sectors, covering various aspects such as the tender process, agreement execution, and results publication. Mandating the timely disclosure of tender outcomes and the chosen bidder within fourteen days of executing a public-private partnership agreement, the Act ensures transparency in the process. Additionally, it includes provisions addressing dispute resolution, agreement termination, and delineating the rights and responsibilities of both participating parties. The overarching aim is to foster collaboration between the public and private sectors, enhancing the efficient delivery of projects and services. Through the establishment of clear procedures and requirements, the Act seeks to mitigate risks and enforce accountability in public-private partnerships.
