Topic: Critical success factors for PPP Housing Delivery
1.0. Introduction
1.1. Background
The concept of PPP (public–private partnership) is mainly related and associated with the
arrangement between two or more public and the private sectors firms and organisation mainly
of a long-term nature. Along with this, the PPP mainly tends to involve the big government
projects or services that are tend to be financed by some private capital or private venture. PPPs
tend to offer and ensure the public sector potential cost, quality and scale advantages that aim in
achieving the improved infrastructure service targets (Yingying, Tian and Shouqing, 2021). But
still the PPPs are different to the one related with the traditional public sector route as the PPP
are varied and these differences require adaptation of vital approach as well as some improved
capabilities in the public sector. Further, it has been also analysed that many critical success
factors are there on which the efficiency level of PPP housing tend to depends on a great extent.
Some of these critical success factors for effective PPP housing delivery includes favourable
amount of investment and positive working environment, (2) proper economic viability, (3)
reliable concessionaire consortium along with having a strong technical strength, (4)
management and procurement of sound financial package, (5) appropriate risk allocation and
management through having an effective and reliable contractual arrangements (Hou and Wang,
2021).
The current research project is based on the topic of Critical success factors for PPP
Housing Delivery for which a study is taken on the PPP projects of UK. It has been observed that
the public private partnership is tend to be effectively implemented in the United Kingdom’s
public facilities as well as in the services provision along with having the private finance
initiative. The reason behind selection of PPP project within the UK as it was the primary
country within the globe who take initiatives to develop and come up with the concept of PPP
with the main aim of the effectively delivery of the public service projects through more efficient
and convenient delivery and building of housing project. But still, the PPP project are vital and
needs to be effectively get implemented in order to make and set out a better balance over public
resources with the requirement to invest in the infrastructure, PPPs are an efficient wat of
leveraging the effectiveness and the assessment of risk management ability of the private sector
1

to deliver and maintain much required public assets. Along with this, it has been also that many
critical success factors are present and prevailing within the PPP construction and housing
delivery of UK which comprises of five basic sets of key success factors like efficient
procurement of the finance, proper project implement ability along with having effective
government guarantee and favourable economic condition to ensure better construction and
infrastructure in the available amount of financial market (Feng and Guo, 2021). Thus, an
implication can be made out that these CSF forms out a vital and important part within the
growth and better construction of the PPP housing delivery within the UK that needs to be
effectively manage and sponsors by government consideration in the case of forming and sharing
their PPP/PFI policy growth and also through the private sector concessionaires in accessing
their projects.
1.2. Problem Statement
PPP project are vital and important to satisfies and meet the need for off budget finance
to meet the expectation and housing needs of vulnerable and middle class society along with for
building schools and hospitals. Thus, PPP projects are vital as it offers and tend to have the
improved public sector potential cost, quality and scale advantages for effectively achieving
infrastructure service targets for public and society at a large. But many challenges and issues are
faced while undertaking a PPP project which consists of proper allocation of risk and lack of
transportation along many other complexities (Sun, Sun and Li, 2021). Some of the general risk
and potential problems faced within a PPP project comprises of Bankruptcy of the contractor
along with poor quality work and increased cash flow and costs together with scope change and
financial make changes and staff challenges. Thus, these risk and complexities faced within the
PPP housing delivery project associated with the identifying, analysing, categorizing and
matching CSFs that are likely to influence the PPP-PHP outcome are taken as the main problem
statement for current project. Thus, current study is focused and emphasised on analysing the
nature and characteristics of critical success factors (CSFs) that influence and leads to higher
success on public private partnership (PPP) arrangements.
1.3. Rationale
The selection of current project based on critical success factor for PPP project is significant
and rationale as PPP construction project tend to contributed efficiently to national capacity
development along with risk transfer, bundling project delivery components and expanded
2

capital access in the areas of building technical skills, developing guidelines, implementing
evidence-based health programming, and continuous quality improvement in laboratories, all of
which are the goals shared by these PPP project within UK. Further, the selection of current
research topic is also rationale and vital as it tend to supports analysis of critical success factors
that supports higher efficiency and improved success of PPP project which are vital for effective
national development and also allows better access to private sector finance (Nguyen and Sun,
2021). Along with this, current project also supports the aspect of the better investigation of the
CSFs for the effective implementation and execution of the PPP housing projects in the United
Kingdom, that tend to be in from the turn of 1990 to 2010. The current project is significant to
underline the important development and vital adoption made within the PPP model around the
globe that was first created and developed by the UK. Thus, an important referred and
empirically for current project is that it count and tend to ensure the success in PPP project
delivery through its more effective implementation that must be preceded and based on the sound
benchmarks and key critical success factors for growth and development of enabling success
factors based on theoretical research to enable predictions and forecasts of outcome in PPP
performance. Thus, an implication about the significance and importance of the current research
project can be made that it tend to supports the higher creating value in terms of providing
detailed view about the aspect of CSFs and its effective role and contribution in the improved
execution of PPP housing projects in UK (Kwofie, Ellis and Opoku, 2021).
Apart from having the academic significance and rationale the selection of current project
also meets and supports the personal interest level of the research and executing the current study
is helps the invitation to effectively explore and develop the own idea and knowledge in relation
to the selected topic. The current study would ensures an improved initiates individual to develop
idea and effective perspective about the aspect of PPP housing projects in UK which helps in
creating improved value along with efficient development at personal as well as professional
level of skills of individual. Thus, selection of the current project is rational and vital from both
professional and personal aspect of researcher which supports improved knowledge and higher
academic competency along with better development of interpersonal skills to have improved
opportunity and success level in future.

1.4. Research aim
The aim of current study is, “To investigate CSFs for implementation of PPP housing
projects in the United Kingdom”. Thus, the main purpose of the current is to effectively analysis
and evaluate about the critical success factors and the vital role and aspect played by them in
creating improved value and higher growth and development of the PPP project through its
effective implementation within UK.
1.5. Research objectives
The main purpose and objectives behind undertaking current investigation and study are listed as
below:
 To develop basic understanding regarding the aspect of CSFs in context to business.
 To study the significance of CSFs in execution of PPP housing projects.
 To identify and appraise CSFs that contribute to implementation of PPP housing projects
in the UK.
 To access the issues that are associated with PPP housing projects in UK.
 To investigate the ways for mitigating the challenges linked with PPP housing projects
within United Kingdom.
1.6. Research questions

1.7. Time scale
To ensure timely completion of all the activities and task of a dissertation it is vital and
necessary to effectively show and present the time scale of a project. With respect to current
study, to ensure proper presentation of all activities along with the time duration use of Gantt
4

chart has been made. Gantt chart is basically a time management tool that ensures improved
clarity and transparency in various areas of work through encouraging a systematic presentation
of all activities (Sun, Sun and Li, 2021). Use of Gantt chart is vital and significant for current
project as it removes the chances of overlapping of work along with reducing the chances of
confusion to ensure effective performance of an investigation. Use of below stated Gantt chart
has been made for current project to bring higher level of clarity and transparency in current
work.
