For Long-Term High-Performing Public Infrastructures

For schools, hospitals, cultural institutions, energy or lighting networks, providing functional, comfortable, and energy-efficient infrastructure to citizens is one of the top priorities for public authorities.

As obligations towards the population and the planet continue to increase, the Public-Private Partnership (P3) is an effective means to accelerate the construction or renovation of your public facilities.

As one of North America's leading P3 service providers, Equans Services helps public authorities maximize the value of this flexible, long-term partnership model. Drawing on recognized expertise in the delivery, operation, and maintenance of public infrastructure, we help optimize the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for your operations while ensuring long-term asset performance and sustainability.

Our goal? Optimize public spending and ensure the quality of your assets, throughout their life cycle.

What is a P3?

A Public-Private Partnership (P3) is a contract that enables the public sector to access the expertise of private partners to finance, build, and maintain a public asset or service.

In response to a unique tender issued by the public partner, investors, builders, and operators pool their know-how to ensure the costs, construction timelines, and performance of new facilities.

In return, the public institution commits to reimbursing the private partners through a fixed payment over a specified period.

Optimal Energy Management

One of the major advantages of this approach is the ability to leverage the skills of private partners. At Equans, we have over 65 P3 contracts to our credit, worldwide.

Our strength lies in ensuring that the facilities we design and maintain are at the forefront of progress in energy efficiency and carbon neutrality. Our focus includes reducing consumption, energy monitoring, and infrastructure automation.

We help you implement a winning strategy that enables you to achieve energy savings while ensuring the comfort of your users.

A Tailored Offer

In the sphere of P3s, it is often said that there are as many possible approaches as potential clients. This means that Public-Private Partnerships are somewhat unique, although they share some characteristics.

Depending on the needs of its clients and the expectations of its partners, Equans Services can take on various roles, such as co-investor, construction subcontractor, or project manager for maintenance and operation. In any case, we guarantee the best service by committing to results (performance indicators) that meet the requirements of all stakeholders.

Equipment Under Control

Once your infrastructure is constructed or renovated, your assets must continue to function effectively over time. We ensure that your users benefit from high-performance equipment throughout the duration of the contract (15 years, 20 years, 30 years or more).

For example, in terms of Centralized Technical Management (CTM), we work with open systems that can be easily upgraded. By integrating maintenance costs and taking into account the total lifespan of the asset from the project design phase, we guarantee the performance of your facilities for many years.

Our goal? Enable municipalities, provinces, and states to focus on their core mission while contributing to the good governance of public spending.
