Analysis of Construction Critical Success Factors (CSF) for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) for Sports Infrastructure in Qatar Using Relative Importance Index.

Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is a unique procurement method that tends to increase in the recent period due to its sustainable approach. Its main feature is to create a partnership between public and private stakeholders to improve the project's delivery time, cost, and quality perspectives and consider the project fund requirements. The paper focuses on and assesses the construction-related critical success factor (CSF) to answer which CSF is important when applying PPP procurement methodology from stakeholders' perspectives and the recommendation to be considered when adapting such a unique and complex procurement method for sports infrastructure assets. Five CSF were identified from previous publications on the same field under a systematic literature review. An online survey was used to collect the professional's view on the importance of the identified factors--the relative Importance Index method used to hierarch them based on the survey results and determine their importance level. The results show that the hierarchy of the construction-related factors supports the study hypothesis. The factors had been classified accordingly with a set of recommendations, as explained later in the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
