New Rules Issued for Unsolicited Projects

The PPP Center, created in late 2018 pursuant to the Project Bank Notification, has finally issued its first notification on guidelines for unsolicited proposals, dated 2 October 2020 (the “Guidelines”), nearly two years after its inception. The Guidelines apply to unsolicited proposals, i.e., proposals made by the private sector directly to a government entity for a Public Private Partnership (“PPP”) project, rather than following a request from the government itself. The Guidelines are conveniently issued at the same time that the request for Expression of Interests (“EOI”) for the New Yangon City Project has been issued.
