The question

To ask the Scottish Executive what safeguards are in place to ensure that PPP school building projects are driven by local authority requirements rather than private sector requirements.

The answer

Answered by Peter Peacock on 3 Jun 2005 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

It is for local authorities to take appropriate measures to ensure that any PPP contracts they enter into meet their requirements. They will specify to potential private sector partners what those requirements are, and there is ample opportunity during the procurement process for authorities to clarify and discuss their requirements with potential partners.
