“We decided to join GCOP because we see the real opportunity for an independent body to bring the public and private sector together, improve understanding and relationships, identify and share best practice, and work together to ensure that the legacy we create in the remaining years of the existing operational PPP/PFI projects is positive”

“Our participation reflects a commitment to advancing best practice in contract management across public-private partnerships—particularly in the delivery of housing, infrastructure, and regeneration projects that support communities. GCOP provides a valuable platform for international collaboration, helping us to strengthen engagement with the private sector, share public sector perspectives, and promote long-term value for communities across the country.”

“I am delighted to join GCOP as a member, as it represents a great opportunity to contribute my experience and collaborate with other leaders, to help shape best practices that will elevate the quality and effectiveness of operational PPPs worldwide. I am committed to sharing insights from over 20 years in the field, while also learning from peers and supporting innovative approaches that drive improvements to current operational projects and inform future versions of the model.”

“I joined the Global Council for Operational PPPs because it fills a critical gap — a truly global forum dedicated to the real challenges of operating PPPs. What excites me is the opportunity to share and learn from international best practice, strengthen collaborative working, and tackle issues such as trust, variations, and quality handback. At the same time, GCOP enables us to embrace the opportunities created by rapidly evolving data, AI, and technology. With its focus on the operational phase, GCOP will help drive stronger partnerships and better outcomes for both partners and, most importantly, the communities these projects serve. I’m genuinely excited about the value this council will foster worldwide.”

“At a time when the PPP market is seeing increased challenges and fragmentation of the partnering relationship, Equans is proud to support the aims of GCOP as a multilateral platform for bringing together PPP stakeholders in the interests of a shared ambition for the success of the PPPs they operate”
