Abstract

Public-Private Partnership procurement option has been identified by researchers as one of the procurement routes through which infrastructural provision has been enhanced in the different countries worldwide. However, the implementation of the procurement route in Nigeria is subject to questioning due to the persistent gap in infrastructural provision. Hence, to boost the PPP procurement system, the study investigated the delivery rate of the different forms of infrastructure through the PPP procurement route and reasons for the procurement application in infrastructural provision. It examined the barriers associated with the lifecycle of the PPP procurement option implementation in the delivery of social and economic infrastructure. It assessed the performance of the government on the important roles under her jurisdiction critical to the successful implementation of PPP procurement option. It evaluated the impact of the government roles in PPP on private stakeholders in the delivery of PPP public construction projects. A mixed methods research approach (quantitative and qualitative) was adopted in achieving the objectives. A well-structured questionnaire and interview guide which addressed the study objectives were used to gather the data from the targeted respondents. In a bid to identify the targeted PPP stakeholders, a purposive sampling technique was used to elicit sixtytwo (62) public and private firms with PPP construction project engagement records in Lagos and Abuja. Hence, three- hundred and eighty-four (384) stakeholders were further selected through random sampling technique from the firms. Two-hundred and seventy-four (274) PPP stakeholders which represented 71% of the respondents responded to the survey. The quantitative data generated were analysed using the statistical tools which include mean, categorical regression, Mann-Whitney U, Factor analysis, severity index and Spearman rho correlation respectively. Also, the qualitative data collected was analysed with content analysis. The findings revealed that the rate of delivery of the different forms of socio-economic infrastructure which includes housing and roads is poor and the significant reasons for the implementation of the procurement option in infrastructural provisions are linked to constraint in the government infrastructural development budget and its benefits to local economic development among others. The findings also revealed the procurement system implementation. These barriers were associated with the procurement system lifecycle which include poor enabling policies at the initiation and preparation phase, non-competitive bidding at the approval and bidding phase, financial partner’s lack of commitment at the implementation and delivery phase and lack of transparency and accountability at the operational phase among others. These barriers are due to the poor performance of the government in legal and regulatory provisions, project preparation and planning, policy framework, management capacity, contract arrangement and project procurement critical to PPP successful implementation. The study further revealed the impacts of the government roles in PPP on the private stakeholders as improved private stakeholder’s consortium on PPPs, and increasing in private stakeholders investments among others. In conclusion, the study acclaims that the government needs to address the barriers associated with the PPP lifecycle and enhance its efficiency in the roles critical to the successful implementation of PPP in infrastructural delivery in Nigeria.
