Objective: by reviewing the legal aspects of public-private partnership agreements, to synthesize their main provisions into a common matrix, which, when digitized, can be used to standardize and simplify the formulation of agreement parameters.

Methods

Methods: the author relied on comparative-legal analysis of scientific literature, legislation and Internet sources on public-private partnership, supplemented by a review of public-private partnership agreements in various socio-political spheres, which made it possible to create a science-based and practice-oriented matrix that can serve as a tool for drafting publicprivate partnership agreements.

Results

Results: national aspects in the legal regulation of the said relations in different countries were highlighted; a number of peculiarities encountered in public-private partnership agreements were described.

Scientific novelty

Scientific novelty: taking into account the most important legal peculiarities characteristic of different countries, a matrix for drafting public-private partnership agreements is presented, including eight main parameters: 1 – value received, scope, benefits and risks, 2 – route to market, 3 – restraint of competition, 4 – conflict of interest and procurement issues, 5 – powers, approvals, legal assessment, 6 – liabilities, dispute resolution, 7 – ownership structure, governance and level of autonomy, 8 – exit strategies. Depending on the priorities identified, the matrix can be modified, taking into account that priorities define and shape the specific parameters of each individual partnership.

Practical significance

Practical significance: the matrix obtained can become a planning tool used to analyze and understand the relationships between the eight legal parameters necessary for the formation of relations in the sphere of publicprivate partnership. It may serve as a legal reference point for the formulation of public-private partnership agreements around the world, and will contribute not only to the revitalization of public-private partnerships, but also to a proper understanding of obligations, responsibilities and limitations. The recommendations provided in the study show direction for the evaluation of public-private partnerships, allowing clear conclusions to be drawn about the partnership. Digital accessibility provided, the proposed matrix will be of interest to many organizations that use public-private partnerships in their professional activities.

Цель

Цель: путем рассмотрения юридических аспектов соглашений о государственно-частном партнерстве синтезировать их основные положения в общую матрицу, которую при переводе в цифровой формат можно использовать в интересах стандартизации и упрощения формулирования параметров соглашения.

Методы

Методы: автор опирался на сравнительно-правовой анализ научной литературы, законодательства и интернет-источников по государственно-частному партнерству, дополненный рассмотрением соглашений о государственно-частном партнерстве различной социально-политической направленности, что позволило создать научно-обоснованную и практико-ориентированную матрицу, которая может послужить инструментом при составлении соглашений о государственно-частном партнерстве.

Результаты

Результаты: выделены национальные аспекты в правовом регулировании обозначенных отношений в различных странах и описан ряд особенностей, встречающихся в соглашениях о государственно-частном партнерстве.

Научная новизна

Научная новизна: с учетом важнейших правовых особенностей, характерных для разных стран, представлена матрица для составления соглашений о государственно-частном партнерстве, включающая восемь основных параметров: 1 – полученную стоимость, масштаб, выгоды и риски, 2 – выход на рынок, 3 – ограничение конкуренции, 4 – конфликт интересов/закупки, 5 – полномочия, одобрение, юридическая оценка, 6 – обязательства, разрешение споров, 7 – структуру собственности, управление и уровень автономии, 8 – стратегии выхода. В зависимости от обозначенных приоритетов ее можно модифицировать, учитывая, что приоритеты определяют и формируют конкретные параметры каждого отдельного партнерства.

Практическая значимость

Практическая значимость: полученная в результате исследования матричная схема может стать инструментом планирования, используемым для анализа и понимания взаимосвязей между восемью юридическими параметрами, необходимыми для формирования отношений в сфере государственно-частного партнерства. Она послужит юридическим ориентиром для формулирования соглашений о государственно-частном партнерстве, используемых во всем мире, и будет способствовать не только активизации государственно-частного партнерства, но и правильному пониманию обязательств, объемов ответственности и ограничений. Приведенные в исследовании рекомендации задают направление для оценки государственно-частного партнерства, позволяя сделать четкие выводы о партнерстве. При условии цифровой доступности предложенная матрица будет представлять определенный интерес для многих организаций, использующих государственно-частное партнерство в своей профессиональной деятельности.
