Introduction
Around the world, the public private partnerships (PPPs) have become an increasingly popular means for procuring public services and infrastructure. For the reason that, PPPs allow the government to secure required infrastructures, without need to raise taxes or borrow funds. And, the United Kingdom is considered a country in which the degree of development of PPPs has received the highest progress; it gained a lot of experience using various forms and methods of PPPs (Whitfield, 2001).
As of March 2013, 725 PFI current projects had been contracted in the UK, providing the total capital value of £54.2 billion (HM Treasury, 2013). National Health Service (NHS) is the major sector that undertook a large number of programmes to rebuild hospitals over the past years. There are currently 121 projects across government in the Department of Heath as of March, 2013. In 2013-14, the expected capital expenditure by private sector is £27million and they planning to increase it to £33million for 2014-15.
Therefore, the purpose of this report is to analyse the PPPs in the United Kingdom particularly in the health sector, to highlight what options are available to the government and review the forms and mechanisms of PPPs in the UK, as well, evaluate benefits and risks associated with the partnership.
The main part is designed to focus on analysing a case study of Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in the UK as example of contracting the private sector. The study will evaluate leadership
