Analysis of Construction Critical Success Factors (CSF) for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) for Sports Infrastructure in Qatar Using Relative Importance Index

Abstract

Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is a unique procurement method that tends to increase in the recent period due to its sustainable approach. Its main feature is to create a partnership between public and private stakeholders to improve the project's delivery time, cost, and quality perspectives and consider the project fund requirements. The paper focuses on and assesses the construction-related critical success factor (CSF) to answer which CSF is important when applying PPP procurement methodology from stakeholders' perspectives and the recommendation to be considered when adapting such a unique and complex procurement method for sports infrastructure assets. Five CSF were identified from previous publications on the same field under a systematic literature review. An online survey was used to collect the professional's view on the importance of the identified factors—the relative Importance Index method used to hierarch them based on the survey results and determine their importance level. The results show that the hierarchy of the construction-related factors supports the study hypothesis. The factors had been classified accordingly with a set of recommendations, as explained later in the paper. © IEOM Society International.
