What this guide is for
Your organization launches a PPP program that turns Amman’s share of Jordan’s $86 billion of projects into public-private partnerships (PPPs) it can prepare, bid for, build, finance or operate, starting with the capital it already works in.
The case
Amman’s organizations can build the capital they work in
Amman has grown on large projects signed by a handful of public bodies and contractors, and most of the capital’s organizations have watched those deals from the outside. The projects of the next fifty years will be prepared, built and run by many organizations at once, and the ones that start their own programs now will own a share of the city they work in. This guide invites organizations in Amman to launch a PPP program, starting with the projects at home.
The guide
Make Amman the capital of the $500 trillion PPP infrastructure opportunity
Your organization opens a dedicated PPP program, a team and a set of offers that take part in Amman’s transport, waste, water, housing, energy and urban projects, starting with the capital’s share of Jordan’s $86 billion of projects.
01
An Amman PPP team
A dedicated team that knows how PPPs are prepared, procured and financed follows every project in Amman from the first market sounding and decides early where the organization can prepare, bid, build, finance or operate.
02
A place in the capital’s consortia
Banks, contractors, engineering firms, operators, universities and local investors join the consortia that bid for Amman’s projects, bringing the capital, the operating knowledge and the local workforce that international partners need.
03
Projects across a growing capital
Buses, roads, water networks, waste plants, housing and power all depend on each other in Amman. An organization that understands those links can shape projects that serve several of them at once.
04
Amman-led direct proposals
Jordan’s PPP Law No. 19 of 2023 accepts direct private proposals under Article 15. An organization in Amman can design a project around a need it sees every day, such as a park-and-ride site, a waste sorting plant, a district cooling network or a smart parking system, and propose it with partners who finance and build it.
05
Pilots as small-scale PPPs
PPP Regulation No. 9 of 2024 defines small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million, which can be bundled into one feasibility report and one tender. A small concession in Amman gives the organization a live asset, a reference and a place in the larger projects that follow.
Why organizations in Amman
Amman’s organizations can build the capital they work in
Amman is Jordan’s capital, home to about four in ten Jordanians and to most ministries, banks, universities and company headquarters. Each new project depends on the organizations already working there, and each one can make them partners in what is built.
Where organizations in Amman fit in a PPP
- Preparation
- Local data, land and needs that shape projects the capital can use and investors can finance.
- Tender
- Places in consortia beside international developers, contractors and operators.
- Financial close
- Equity, land contributions and local investors beside the banks and funds.
- Operation
- Operators, service firms and a workforce that run the asset in the capital for decades.
- Exit
- Stakes that local and regional investors can buy, including tokenized notes.
One capital, many linked projects
Buses and roads, water and wastewater networks, waste plants, housing, schools, hospitals and the power that feeds them all serve the same districts in Amman, and the city’s needs in transport, waste, water and housing are the largest in the country. A project in one of them changes the demand for the others, which gives organizations that see the whole city an advantage in shaping the next one.
Why a program, and why now
The consortia for Jordan’s next projects are forming now. A program gives an organization in Amman a team, a pipeline and the partners to act on it, and the organizations that join the first projects will help set the standards the rest of the country follows.
Futureproofing
Futureproof Organizations in Amman for the infrastructure singularity
This free 17-page guide shows how, with small PPPs in parallel, PPP research labs, artificial intelligence, robotics, tokenization and six first steps.
Jordan and Aqaba
An $86 billion pipeline to start with
Most of Amman’s share of Jordan’s $86 billion will need local partners to prepare, build and run it. An organization that delivers one PPP in Amman can carry the same team to the next project across Jordan and the region.
- $86B
- of PPP and infrastructure projects in development in Jordan
- $46B
- of them anchored in Aqaba
Artificial intelligence
AI fits Amman’s busiest systems first. It can plan bus routes and traffic signals, forecast water and power demand, find leaks in old networks and route waste collection across the city’s districts. An organization in Amman can bring those tools into every concession it joins and use the same data to find the next project worth proposing.
Robotics
Cities are where robots are starting to work in public. Sorting robots in waste plants, pipe crawlers, drones and inspection robots can raise the capacity of Amman’s networks and keep its roads, bridges and tunnels in shape, and the organizations that run them will need Jordanian technicians trained in Amman to operate and maintain them.
Tokenization
Tokenization lets the people and companies of Amman own a share of the projects around them. An organization can offer tokenized stakes in a bus depot, a waste plant or a housing project to local and regional investors, pay them from the asset’s own revenue and keep the capital’s savings working in the city.
Small PPPs and research labs
Amman is large enough to prove an idea at scale and close to the ministries that can adopt it. An organization in Amman can host a PPP research lab, run pilots on its own land and assets and publish every result, so the pilots that work in Amman become the models for the rest of Jordan.
Unsolicited proposals
A direct proposal lets an organization in Amman bring a project built around a need it knows better than anyone, from a waste sorting plant to a park-and-ride site. It can propose the project as its own, protect the ideas behind it and keep the right to match the best offer at tender.
The program
How the program could work
The program can sit inside the organization’s strategy or business development team, with a PPP lead at its center and offers built from what the organization already owns and runs in Amman.
- PPP team
- A small team of business, technical, legal and finance people that covers every PPP in Amman from the first market sounding.
- Pipeline
- A map of Amman’s projects by sector and stage, and the ones that fit the organization’s land, assets and skills.
- Consortia
- Partnerships with developers, contractors, operators and banks bidding for Amman’s projects.
- Local supply
- Services, staff, land and equipment the organization can offer every concession in the city.
- Direct proposals
- Projects proposed under Article 15 around needs the organization sees in Amman every day.
- Pilots
- Small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million that build a track record on live assets in Amman.
- Partners
- Agreements with the capital’s public bodies, municipal services, banks, investors and other organizations in the city.
What the organization gains
The organization gains contracts and revenue that last as long as the concessions it joins, a bigger role in the capital it already works in and a reference it can carry to every other project in Jordan.
It also gains a voice in how Amman grows. The organizations that help prepare, build and run the capital’s first AI, robotics and tokenized PPPs will shape its streets, networks and neighborhoods for the next fifty years.
Next steps
How an organization in Amman can start
Any organization in Amman can take this guide forward. The first steps use the land, assets, people and partners the organization already has.
01
Mandate
Board or management approval for an Amman PPP program, with its sectors, its role and its first-year goals.
02
Team
A named program lead, with business, technical, legal and finance people drawn from the organization’s existing teams.
03
Pipeline
A map of Amman’s projects within Jordan’s $86 billion by sector and stage, and early meetings with the authorities and developers behind them.
04
Offer
The land, assets, services and local workforce the organization can bring to a consortium, packaged into one offer.
05
Partners
