TI  - Critical Success Factors for Public Private Partnerships at small local governments in the Netherlands: A case study on Noordenveld and Appingedam
N2  - Most research on Public Private Partnerships (PPP) is based on PPPs on a very large scale. This research is about how PPPs work at small local governments in the Netherlands, and what the Critical Success Factors (CSF) are for them. Only little research has been done on how small local governments should act during PPPs. To find out how governments should act, four CSFs are investigated in this research; an active government, concessionaire selection, communication and trust. Next to this, the meaning of ?success? will be defined. This research contains a literature review combined with a case study, consisting of two small local governments; Appingedam and Noordenveld. During the case-study 4 government employees (2 of each government) and two private parties (1 working with each government) will be interviewed by making use of a semi-structured interview. The main results are: The government should be active when it comes to active contribution and sharing of data; Concessionaire selection is mostly negotiated tendering; all forms of communication (e-mail, phone, face to face) have their own function in the process; and that trust is reflected in how contracts are proposed, how much creativity private parties get and how much knowledge is transferred.
The answer to the main question; What are the Critical Success Factors in Public Private Partnerships during the design phase procured by small local governments in the Netherlands, is: an active government and communication are of importance for the successfulness of PPPs at small local governments, the concessionaire selection method is not and that trust is important for the successfulness of a PPPs, but the contracts aren?t.
