Siemens PPP experiences for Growth in ASEAN

Competitive Advantage
Why is PPP interesting to Siemens?
In comparison to low investment cost bidders, a more quality and whole life approach resulting in better value for money is taken. Financially strong entities may have an advantage due to the complexity, degree of project risks and long term partnership character of these schemes.
Cross Selling of Products and Services
Knowledge Transfer
Concessions schemes are an ideal playing field for entities with a broad spectrum of rail infrastructure related products and services. Cross selling includes a) project management, b) products (rolling stock, E&M systems) and c) services (provision of maintenance and potentially operations support).
Due to the intense interaction with specialized parties, e.g. in operations, Siemens can gain further understanding of operational concepts and client needs and therefore can enhance its knowledge base for future product and project development.
Siemens has experience in PPPs in various industry sectors, such as healthcare, energy, airports and rail However, proper risk sharing is essential for successful PPP in railway environment!
Long Term Steady Income
Concession models permit longer term stable income streams from maintenance and investment and thus add a certain degree of counterbalance to more cyclical income resulting from investment phases.
There are various reasons why Siemens is interested in PPP projects

The sheer size of the civil portion requires a split in multiple lots and separation from E&M for Mainline

Signaling / Telecom
Other E&M Infrastructure
Benefits One responsible partner for system integration of
E&M Good structure / portion of private financing Issues Delays by Civil Companies caused additional
cost to client Many parties involved in approval process Lessons Learnt Good basis for a project approach Order of trains from another supplier caused
problems
Advantages / Disadvantages for the customer By PPP financing the State‘s budget is supported
in the short run Reliability of system availability by 25 years E&M
maintenance contract with availability guarantees Very political, different opinions within the
stakeholder groupd

Civil and E&M lots of Mass Transit projects are typically realized in one PPP and by one turnkey consortium

Benefits Private customer, success triggered not too bureaucratic, good Consortium team, only
few responsible entities Issues Project came into the Asian crisis in 1997 and
suffered financial loss in the end Passenger run up slower than projections Lessons Learnt Full private financing of Mass Transit not possible Risk evaluation and allocation has changed
Advantages / Disadvantages for the customer One responsible partner for project execution Financial success depending on passenger
numbers

Mass Transit projects realized as a turnkey

Third Rail
Signaling / Telecom Other E&M Infrastructure
Benefits Private customer, with most of the land already in
possession of one of the consortium member Financially strong and knowledgeable customer facilitated co-operation among diff. parties
Issues Delays by the civil contractor (company owned by
customer) Language and documentation issues with key
subcontractor
Lessons Learnt Excellent basis for project approach Innovative way of balancing and sharing of risks
Advantages / Disadvantages for the customer Key E&M systems and integration from
responsible partner to act as a lever for smooth opening of line
Commercial success depends on ridership numbers and extension of the line is mandatory for ridership numbers.

Benefits Civil uncertainties and risks taken over by the
customer. Financially strong customer Issues Delays by civil and track works contractors No single entity responsible for integration Opening of the line before commonwealth games
put additional pressure. Lessons Learnt Although this model of PPP where civil risk is
taken by customer is beneficial, execution of project remains utmost important for success
In-experienced customer needs to award integration responsibility to single party
Advantages / Disadvantages for the customer Commercial success clearly depends on
ridership numbers and real estate revenues. Civil risk taken over by the customer

Issues to consider
Duration: Length of tender process between prequalification and financial close could easily be 3 years
Resources: For managing bid development, bid publicizing, ongoing management as well as evaluation on the side of the authority (interaction with number of bidders)
Bidders' Bid Costs: An increasingly important issue as costs can easily go into the double digit millions per bid group, thus very careful selection of tender participation
Legal / Regulatory Issues: Should ideally be clear prior to release of tender, otherwise potential risk of reconfigurations and delays in process (e.g. EIS, Planning Authorizations, Funding Authorizations)
Time, resources and costs as well as legal issues are main critical aspects to consider in Tender Process
