Once upon a time, there was once a hospital PPP that had every reason to implode.

​

The private partner was a joint venture between a French construction giant, an Aussie FM firm, and a Spanish bank that hadn’t read the contract.

What could get wrong?

​

The public sector?

A government department that changed name three times during procurement.

​

Even the Independent Certifier was late to its own appointment.

​

All the right mindset, bricks, etc. seem to be there… and of course… the damn thing worked.

​

Yes!

​

They built it on time.

Under budget.

And the building didn’t leak—a miracle by hospital PPP standards.

​

Why?

​

Because someone—a no-name contract manager buried on page 9 of the org chart—decided to actually read the Project Agreement.

She created a risk register so clean it should be in the Louvre.

Chased subcontractors like rent was due.

And told both sides: “You want to escalate? Fine. But you’ll lose.”

​

Result?

​

No claims.

No media scandal.

No politicians yelling “privatization disaster.”

​

Just clean wards, working lifts, and FM reports submitted on time.

​

So next time someone says PPPs don’t work, remind them:

They can.

They just need one thing—

Someone who gives a damn.

​

This story can explain how the project below could be open… more or less on time.
