P3 and Market Influences: Strategies for Improving Competition Through Risk Mitigation

As the scale of public-private partnership projects continues to grow, the dynamics of risk allocation and market competition are evolving. Larger, more complex projects can strain the private sector’s appetite and capacity to absorb certain risks, potentially limiting the pool of qualified bidders and reducing overall competition. This panel will explore how these market influences are shaping the future of P3 delivery.

Panelists will discuss practical strategies for mitigating risk in large-scale P3 projects, with a focus on fostering a more competitive and resilient market. Topics will include innovative risk-sharing approaches, contract structures that attract a broader range of private partners, and methods for balancing public and private sector interests. The session will also examine how teaming arrangements are adapting in response to shifting risk profiles, and what public owners can do to encourage robust participation from both established and emerging market players.

Through real-world examples and forward-looking insights, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how thoughtful risk mitigation can drive better outcomes for P3 projects, ensuring that competition remains strong, innovation thrives, and public infrastructure goals are met.
