Once again, Puerto Rico is a PPP trailblazer(3)

Behind cohesive legislation, Puerto Rico has privatised a major toll road and is tendering a concession for its main airport. Now, it is lining up its first ever social infrastructure project – a juvenile social treatment centre. An RFQ is due in the first quarter of the year.

Puerto Rico is preparing what would be its maiden social infrastructure public-private partnership (PPP).

The Public-Private Partnership Authority (PPPA) and Juvenile Institution Administration (JIA) in Puerto Rico have released an initial report on a planned juvenile social treatment centre, the PPPA said.

The authority said the PPP – a design, build, finance and maintain (DBFM) contract – is for a 600-bed building, adding that the DBFM model is the “most adequate procurement structure” for the project.
