The aim of this paper is to measure ‘overall’ success of a Public Private Partnership (PPP) transport
projects using 04 case studies. All four case studies are PPP toll roads from 04 different EU countries
(UK, Spain, Portugal and Greece). The case studies have been analysed using a manual Qualitative
Comparative Analysis approach. According to the paper, three different perspectives have been used
to measure the success of a project, i.e. project management perspective, stakeholder perspective and
contract management perspective. The ‘overall’ success has then been deduced by bringing these
three perspectives together as a holistic approach. The findings are presented in a form of a matrix
and the final outcome of the paper shows a simple methodological approach that can be used to
measure success of a PPP transport project. Since the study takes more of a qualitative approach,
researcher bias and perceptions have a major role to play in the final outcome. However, to reduce
‘biasness’, quantitative measures have also been used to quantify the Key Performance Indicators
and performance measures in the case studies. It is hoped that the study makes a valid contribution to
the areas of transport PPPs and performance measurement.
