Characteristics of SNS and the Health Sector
• SNS since 1979, direct provision of health services to
resident population of about 10 million users
• “Tendentially free” for users as per the Constitution
• As of 2004, 171 hospitals, of which 89 public, some
purpose built
• Mixed system
– SNS, conventions with non-SNS providers (about 10% hospital
services)
– Dual professional practice permittted,“funcionário público”staff
• Health spending/GDP above average and growing, high
public/total health spending
• SNS management in transition with transformation of public
hospitals from Public Administration into state-owned
companies, SA or EPE.

The options
SNS to build and finance, and later to pay for services
operated by the private sector (Amadora-Sintra)
SNS to build, finance, pay and operate (Sta Maria da
Feira)
Hospital PPP integrated with clinical services, private
sector to design, build, finance, operate, SNS to pay
(Cascais, Braga, Loures, VF Xira)
Hospital PPP infrastructure, private sector to design,
build and finance, SNS to operate and pay (Algarve,
Terceira, Lisboa Oriental)
Increasing outsourcing to private providers
“convencionados”, through SIGIC surgical waiting list

The choice
•
•
•
•
•
PPP off-budget
Unique PPP model,
including clinical
services, to minimize
interfaces, optimize
efficiencies
Large, ambitious program
for critical mass, no pilot
Compensate low levels
of experience in SNS
with a Health PPP unit
and consultants
Use of PSC
• Good number of bids,
domestic bidders
• Crowded deal pipeline
• Delays, mostly in bid
evaluation and final
negotiation, average 3.5
year from launch to
signature
• Banks required corporate
guarantees for clinical
risk, limited market
http://ppplusofonia.blogspot.com
14
Risk allocation depends largely
on political will…
• Fitch, 2003: The
Portuguese
govenment’s current
plan to privatise
clinical services, a
feat that has not been
attempted in other
European countries”
• Fitch, 2003: “In Spain and
Portugal, the concept fo
financial (re)equilibrium
gives confort with regard
to the possiblity of
Government intervention,
but this concept does not
exist in other countries”

The re-assessment
• 2004-2006
–
–
–
–
Long procurement delays
Impasse in bid evaluations
Complex specifications
Bidders limited to sponsors
with local clinical
experience
– Banks unwilling to take
clinical risk
• clinical performance,
• demand demographics
• price and regulatory
risks
– Bank ceilings on taking
sponsor corporate risk
http://ppplusofonia.blogspot.com
• Since 2007
– Clinical services excluded (2005-2008)
– Specifications simplified
– Tender panel to include ARS, as “contract
manager” and payer
– Approval of final engineering designs
postponed to after signature
…. Responses to GFC finacial crisis
– Temporary sharing interest rate risk
not permitted
– Front loading debt, mini perm,
reimbursement, maturities
– Reliance on single bank funding
CGD, plus EIB
– Refinancing clause with gains for
Public Partner
• New PPPs suspended in 2011

The Clinical SPV has a ten-year contract and is
responsible for clinical services, ancillary
services and medical equipment acquisition and
replacement. Smaller investment needs and
difficulties defining clinical specifications led to a
shorter contract duration.
• Cleaning
• Catering
• Laundry
• Sterilization

(…)
A contract between the two SPVs ensures coordination and both groups are
joint and severally liable to the grantor.

responsibility.

Third party revenues (insurance), shared with
grantor SNS-ARS

Clinical risk, the creditors,
and the financial markets
Banks never accepted clinical risks, required sponsor guarantees
Clinical risk taken by sponsor, in the form of corporate guarantees,
under existing credit limits of local and international banks
Inclusion of clinical services exhausted the field of potential bidders,
reduced competition
Market capacity to absorb clinical risk exhausted very quickly 20032005
NPV of payments at final bid, discounted at 6,08%, were consistently
but moderately below PSC
Cascais (Oct-2008) -7,8%
Braga (Feb-2009), -33%
Loures (June-2009), -20-3%
Vila Franca de Xira (July-2009) – 23%
The initial bids for the Oriental Lisboa hospital (April-2009), came in
significantly above the PSC, +50-75%, primarily due to the higher
financing costs, now suspended

PPP Hospitals Portugal
Actual procurement
outcomes
• No pilot, but re-assessment led
to major shift in risk allocation
strategy
• Evolution of risk allocation to
international bank practice
• 5-6 groups entered sector in
order to present as bidders
• Long delays exposed projects to
more market risks, interest rate,
underwriting risk
• Concept of financial reequilibrium opens door to
renegotiations
Results
•
•
•
•
Government contraints and
objectives
– Compliance with Maastricht
criteria for Government deficit
of 3% of GDP and Government
debt of 60% of GDP
Four integrated hospital PPP
contracts signed, one infra hospital
in Azores
Great reliance on CGD local
Government bank and EIB
(Braga and Azores hospitals)
Cascais dispute over paying for
cancer medications in arbitration in
year 1

Clinical Services Pro and Cons
Integrated model
with clinical services
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Transfer significant risks, such as
cost overruns and delays
Partners able to manage risks more
efficiently
More innovation and efficiency gains
expected, with synergies and whole-life
costing
Lower interface risks, infra/clinical,
Higher political sensivity
Contract management periodic, lower
conflict
Coincident with transformation of SNS
hospitais into SA and EPE
Ability to benchmark performance
(RSM 2010)
Infrastructure model
• Higher interface risks
• Lower political
sensitivity and risks
• Higher cost overruns
• Contract management
with daily interface
requires daily
cooperation between
landlord and hospital
staff, friction
http://ppplusofonia.blogspot.com
23
Clinical services: to include or
not to include in the PPP
External Evaluation Report
(Barros, Simões, July 2009)
• Include in PPP routine
undifferentiated clinical
services, easier to contract
and benchmark
• Keep more differentiated
services in the public
sector, given difficulty in
establishing contractual
arrangements, incentivies
and monitoring indicators
Abrantes 2010:
• Key interface is with primary care
physician, not between infrastructure
provider and hospital staff
• Key criteria
– Budget sustainabilty and SNS-wide
efficiencies
– Risk appetite and pricing by
international sponsors, creditors
=> Exclude clinical services from
hospital PPP, unless managed
in integrated manner with the
primary care physician (médico
de familia) as doorkeeper (HMO
or Alzira model )
http://ppplusofonia.blogspot.com
24
The health care sector is different
• Suppliers, service providers, strongly influence demand
• Taxpayer, as third-party payer, has great need for control
in dinamic situation
• Demand for health services growing with ageing
• Multiple interfaces
– Primary care versus specialists, MCDT, meds, hospitals,
continuing care
– Provider versus third-party payer
– Infrastructure versus clinical services is not the critical interface
• Budget sustainability will become the key constraint and
will depend as much on contract management as on
contract design, favoring simpler, transaparent contracts

25
Conclusions
•
•
•
•
•
Recomendations
No real substitute for public sector
contract managment capacity, training,
capacity building and rotations are
essential
Managing indirect public investment
through a 10-30 year PPP contract is
much more complex than managing
direct public investment 3-5 year
contract
Great attention to market risk capacity
and pricing in determining risk
allocation
Ongoing monitoring and evaluation key
to maintaing Value for Money in the
face or renegotiations and rebalancings
Value for money must include
concept of budget sustainability,
renegotiations and equilibrium for the
public partner, as well as the private
partner
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Plan for public sector capacity building,
guidance, guidelines, reviews
Simplifty specifications, standardization of
documents and procurement procedures
Adjust to changing market conditions,
manage project pipeline to avoid crowding
and accumulation of external debt
Find alternative, even if temporary,
sources of financing to overcome funding
gaps and overly tight conditions
LT PPP funding vehicle to take over
operating project loans
Keep PPPs the exception, not the rule,
as a form of financing public
investment and public services, below
25% of relevant public investment
Include PPP contract obligations in
public investment expenditure and
public debt
