title: Potential of DBFM-Contracts for Railway Development in The Netherlands
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: This thesis aims to find out what the potential for the use of DBFM-contracts is for railway development in the Netherlands. Since ProRail asks for increased investments in the railway network, private financing may provide a solution. A combination of literature review, documents and semi-structured interviews was used to analyse project characteristics, performance factors and the potential for the use of DBFM in rail. It was found that the use of the contract type is currently not on the table for ProRail due to various obstacles caused by the specific railway infrastructure, and the specific project type needed for the use of DBFM. Currently, the potential for the contract type can be regarded as low. Specific projects of large enough scale and the organizational change of ProRail to a ZBO-status may make the use of DBFM-contracts in railway development in the Netherlands an option in the future.
