Education PPP (Public-Private Partnership) Structuring is an innovative approach where the state and business unite to implement educational projects. In Georgia, this model is becoming increasingly relevant, especially for building new schools, developing vocational colleges, and setting up university campuses. A PPP project allows a private investor to receive state funding or assets (e.g., land) in exchange for creating and managing educational infrastructure. However, such projects are legally highly complex: they require correct risk allocation, long-term contracts, and compliance with both public procurement and education legislation. Legal.ge offers experts who will assist in legal modeling of the PPP project, participating in tenders, and signing agreements with the state.

Real-World Scenarios Where You Need This Service
For example, a construction company wants to build student housing on state university land. In return, the company gets the right to manage the housing for 20 years and collect revenue from students. This is a classic PPP. A lawyer will help draft the agreement with the university and the Ministry of Economy, setting tariffs and responsibilities. Another example: a business creates a vocational college with the state, where the state provides the building, and the business provides equipment and training.
Georgian Legal Framework
The sector is regulated by the "Law of Georgia on Public-Private Partnerships" (2018). The law requires project registration, government approval, and a transparent selection process. The "Law on State Property" is also relevant for asset transfer.
The Process Step-by-Step
1. Concept: Initiating the project and submitting it to the government. 2. Tender: Participating in the public selection process. 3. Negotiation: Agreeing detailed terms with the state. 4. Contract: Signing the PPP contract. 5. Implementation: Construction and operation.
