Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are contractual arrangements entered into by the government with the private sector. Under a PPP scheme, the private sector can build, operate, and maintain public infrastructure facilities and provide services traditionally delivered by the government. Examples of these are road, airports, bridges, hospitals, schools, prisons, railways, and water and sanitation projects.

Republic Act (RA) 6957 as amended by RA 7718 (commonly known as the Build-Operate-Transfer Law) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) is the legal framework when the government enters into PPP.

In a PPP scheme, the government owns the PPP projects. Even as the private partners build, operate, and maintain the projects, ownership remains with the government.

Any individual, partnership, corporation, firm, whether local or foreign firms can participate or apply for pre-qualification or simultaneous qualification for PPP projects. However, if the project involves the operation of a public utility, the operator must be at least 60% Filipino-owned. (Section 5.1 Build-Operate-Transfer Law IRR)
