  • Value for Money Integration in the Renegotiation of Public Private Partnership Road Projects by Ajibola Oladipo Fatokun
    Value for Money Integration in the Renegotiation of Public Private Partnership Road Projects By Ajibola Oladipo Fatokun A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire October 2018 i STUDENT DECLARATION I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work Signature of Candidate: ____________________________________________________ Type of Award: ________________________ PhD _______________________ School: ______________________ Engineering ____________________ ii ABSTRACT The governments of various countries have continued to adopt Public Private Partnership (PPP) for infrastructure projects delivery due to its many advantages over the traditional procurement method. However, concerns have been raised by stakeholders about the viability of PPP to deliver Value for Money (VfM), especially for the client. These discussions have generated debates and arguments in policy and advisory documents within the last decade mainly in the renegotiation of PPP water and transport projects and their VfM implications. Poor or non-achievement of VfM in PPP contracts renegotiation has led to this study in PPP road projects with the overall aim of integrating VfM considerations into the renegotiation process of PPP road projects. Mixed methodology research approach is used to achieve the objectives set for the study. Interviews and questionnaires of professionals involved in Design-Build-Finance-Operate (DBFO) road projects in the UK are used in the study.

This report is the latest report produced by the Council to fulfil this part of the continuing commitment to the Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) process. This Report provides an annual update of recent air quality issues in Redbridge, based on the results of air quality monitoring in the Borough to the end of 2013, as well as a focus on the Council’s progress on reducing air pollution through its Air Quality Action Plan, which was adopted in March 2008. The Council’s previous Updating and Screening Assessment 2012 of air quality confirmed that there were locations across the Borough with relevant public exposure where the Government’s air quality objectives might be exceeded. Previous assessments have shown the Council’s monitoring results for carbon monoxide, benzene and sulphur dioxide indicate that the objectives for these pollutants are not being exceeded. However monitoring of nitrogen dioxide in this report confirms that the Government’s air quality objectives are still being exceeded widely at locations with relevant public exposure.
