Abstract
Public-Public Partnerships (PUPs) in the infrastructural context are increasing in popularity and come with different success and failure factors that influence such a partnership. According to Boag & McDonald (2010) and Greasley et al. (2008), literature about PUPs is relatively thin and is limited because of its thematical and regional aspects, but it can give some clear insights in what these factors are in this literature. The identified factors from the literature are categorised into some main codes, namely in terms of affordability and capacity, solidarity, transparency, accountability and legitimacy. These factors influence the effectiveness and efficiency of the decision-making process in the PUP, what will eventually lead to the success or failure of the PUP. To gain more understanding about PUPs and the success and failure factors, a case study is conducted to see to what extent there is a mismatch between the literature about these factors and those in practice. This case study was conducted on the housing project Blauwestad where it went from a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) to a PUP, because of the financial crisis and the withdraw from the private parties in 2008. Since 2016 the plot sale is really increasing, and this affected the partnership in a positive way. From six in this study conducted interviews it became clear that the partnership is a success now. This has several reasons, namely: the shortage on the housing market, the governance agreement of 2019, and the changed meeting structure of the COVID-19 pandemic. Comparing the success and failure factors from the PUP of Blauwestad to the factors from literature there is a match in success factors right now. Things that did not go well in the past were failure factors at that time, but are now turned into success factors compared to the literature. Generalizing on this is still difficult, because the specific context the PUP operates in. Further research could be done to identify more success and failure factors and to get a deeper understanding about PUPs.
