2. Abstract
To study the PPP (Public Private Partnership) options
for ESD (Electronic Service Delivery) model of local
government on the basis of international experience.

guidelines or manuals for the private sector financing
in general or conventional local government
infrastructure.

organizations
A formal agreement about
roles and responsibilities

7. Cross Reference between Characteristics and types of PPP

8. Recommendations
Take concrete steps to enable the PPP for e-
government or public ICT project procurements,
including exploration of the legal feasibility and bidding
procedure, to gradually replace conventional public
procurement structures in ICT projects and services.

9. Recommendations
Decision makers must know all philosophy of public
private partnership or if they have not sufficient
knowledge then they should hire the services of
experienced consultant of PPP field.

10. Recommendations
In case of e-government, PPP contractual period should
not be as long as other conventional fields of
government (non ICT) due to rapid change in ICT

11. Recommendations
Incorporate into the contractual terms of PPP in ICT
projects and services which relax the restrictions
imposed onto the IPR of these projects and services
against the private sector partner, and allow the private
sector partner to continue to develop the IPR arising
from such projects and services.

12. Recommendations
Audit the IPRs held by the Government arising from the
past PPPs to examine their commercial potential, and
release those with high commercial viability to public
bidding by the local ICT industry with a view to further
development and market release.
