Porovnanie PPP a tradičného poskytovania verejných služieb na municipálnej úrovni
A Comparison of PPP’s and Traditional Provision of Public Services at the Municipal Level

Summary/Abstract: Implementation of alternative service delivery arrangements contributed to a rethinking of the public sector’s capacity as the public service provider. The public-private partnership became a part of the life of modern economics as a tool which enables the state or local government to carry their competences in a time that is ambitious to increase public need and decrease public expenditure. The aim of our paper (case study) is to present a set of analytical data comparing of public private partnership and traditional public procurement of public lighting reconstruction projects at the municipal level in Slovakia. This study uses a quantitative approach to investigate the research question. The study analyzes the original collected survey data from our own research in 14 Slovak municipalities. The analysis focuses only on construction costs and does not take into account other benefits of the project. From the point of view of all stakeholders, the benefits of PPPs should be evaluated over the entire project lifecycle, from beginning of construction through operations and maintenance to the end of the contract period. However, most projects are still in early stages of operation.
