Abstract

Public-private partnership has become a widely published and innovative means of responding to public project infrastructural needs. This paper aims to investigate the relationships between project governance structure and the mediating role of tendering transparency on public-private partnerships performance. A stratified sample of 453 respondents from the 18 administrative districts of Volta Region of Ghana participated in the study by completing a self-reported questionnaire. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and partial least square-based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings suggest significant direct effects of quality project governance structure on both cost and time performances of PPP projects. In addition, perceived tendering transparency was a significant mediator between project governance structure and public-private partnerships performance on time and cost. This paper is one of the first to have a model including, tendering transparency, public-private partnerships performance and perceived project governance structure setup from less developed PPP market perspective.
