Purpose: Many countries in the world are using Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) as an alternative procurement method for the delivery of public services. The research investigates the use of PPPs in South Africa, as a means of public infrastructure procurement, and the role that quantity surveyors could play in PPPs. Design/Methodology: A survey questionnaire was conducted among South African quantity surveyors, in order to determine their level of involvement in PPPs. The survey questions were divided into five categories: background information; level of knowledge and participation in PPPs; traditional and non-traditional roles of quantity surveyors; respondents perceptions regarding the education and competency of a quantity surveyor; and lastly, further education. A case study of a completed PPP in South Africa was also conducted for triangulation purposes. Findings: Firstly, the research shows that PPPs are an alternative procurement method for public infrastructure procurement in South Africa. Secondly, the study shows that, although quantity surveyors possess the relevant skills and competencies required in a PPP project, their current involvement in PPPs in South Africa is limited. Originality/Value: The findings have highlighted the many opportunities that exist for quantity surveyors in PPP projects in South Africa. Given that PPPs are still in their infancy in South Africa, and the government s commitment to PPPs, further research is required in this field. tm2016 mi2025 Town and Regional Planning MSc Unrestricted SDG-09: Industry, innovation and infrastructure SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities SDG-17: Partnerships for the goals 2016-07-29T11:01:58Z 2016-07-29T11:01:58Z 2016-04-11 2015 Dissertation Llale, J 2015, The role of quantity surveyors in public-private partnerships projects in South Africa, MSc Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/56083> A2016 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/56083 en © 2016 University of Pretoria.
