What this guide is for
Your institution launches a PPP program to build, finance and maintain courthouses, digital court services and correction and rehabilitation centers as public-private partnerships (PPPs).
The case
Justice and correctional institutions run large public estates
Courthouses and correction centers have mostly been built with public budgets and maintained when funds allowed. The facilities of the next fifty years will be built, financed and maintained by partners paid for availability and performance, and the institutions that set up those partnerships now will shape how citizens reach the courts and how people prepare to return home for as long as the contracts last. This guide invites justice and correctional institutions in Jordan to launch a PPP program, starting with the projects at home.
The guide
Bring justice facilities to the $500 trillion PPP infrastructure opportunity
Your institution opens a dedicated PPP program, a team and a set of offers that deliver courthouses, digital court services and rehabilitation centers under availability contracts, starting with Jordan’s $86 billion of projects and the $46 billion anchored in Aqaba.
01
A PPP facilities team
A dedicated team that knows how PPPs are prepared, procured and financed follows every building, digital and training project in Jordan’s pipeline from the first market sounding and decides early where courts and centers can benefit.
02
Courthouses and court services
Courthouses, judicial complexes and the digital systems behind them can be financed, built and maintained by private partners under availability contracts, paid when each building and service is open and meets agreed standards.
03
Rehabilitation and training
Correction and rehabilitation centers can buy maintenance, catering, education and vocational training by performance, while partners finance and run the buildings, workshops and classrooms behind them.
04
Institution-led direct proposals
Jordan’s PPP Law No. 19 of 2023 accepts direct private proposals under Article 15. An institution can receive and invite proposals from companies for its facilities and services, such as a digital records center, a solar plant for a courthouse or a vocational workshop, and review each one before it moves forward.
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 courthouse renovation or a training workshop at that scale gives the institution a live contract and a reference.
Why justice and correctional institutions
Justice and correctional institutions run large public estates
Courthouses, archives, rehabilitation centers, training workshops and their digital systems make up much of what these institutions run. Many countries deliver them through availability-payment PPPs, where a partner builds and maintains each asset and is paid when it performs to agreed standards.
Where institutions fit in a PPP
- Preparation
- Estate surveys and needs studies that set the scope of each courthouse, digital or rehabilitation project.
- Tender
- Clear standards for security, access, dignity and service written into every bid and contract.
- Financial close
- Availability payments over long contracts that make justice facilities bankable.
- Operation
- Maintenance, utilities, records and training services kept to agreed standards for decades.
- Exit
- Assets returned to the institution in agreed condition, or refinanced by long-term funds.
Jordan has started the work
The Ministry of Justice prepared its Mizan court case management system in 2005 and applied it in most of the Kingdom’s courts in 2006 and 2007, over a network that links courts in 65 locations. The Correction and Rehabilitation Centers Law No. 9 of 2004 replaced the prisons law of 1953, and Penal Code amendments in force since June 24, 2022 added community service and electronic monitoring as alternative sentences.
Why a program, and why now
Many countries have delivered courthouses, rehabilitation centers and training services through availability-payment PPPs for years, and Jordan now has a PPP law and a pipeline to do the same. A program gives an institution a team, a pipeline and the partners to act, and the first justice PPPs in Jordan will set the standard for the rest.
Futureproofing
Futureproof Justice and Correctional Institutions in Jordan 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
Many of them, from public buildings and digital services to power and water, match the needs of courts and rehabilitation centers. A Jordanian institution that delivers one justice PPP at home can share the same model with partner institutions across the region.

Artificial intelligence
AI can help courts and centers run their facilities and services. It can index case files, plan hearing rooms and schedules, track the condition of every building and forecast energy and water use at each site. An institution can use those tools to hold its PPP partners to their performance standards and spend each budget where it matters most.
Robotics
Robots can build facilities faster, scan paper archives into digital records, inspect roofs, tanks and pipes and keep kitchens and laundries running. An institution can ask its partners to bring those machines to its courthouses and centers, and to train people preparing for release as technicians who run and repair them.
Tokenization
Tokenization can open justice facility finance to many investors. Stakes in a courthouse program, a training center or a solar plant for a rehabilitation center can be offered as tokenized notes, paid from availability payments, so pension funds and citizens can invest in the public buildings of their justice system.
Small PPPs and research labs
Small PPPs let an institution prove a new model on one site at low cost. It can host a PPP research lab that trials digital archives, AI scheduling and off-grid power at a courthouse or center, publish every result and carry the pilots that work to every site.
Unsolicited proposals
Direct proposals let companies bring a digital service, a solar plant or a training workshop to an institution as a project of their own. The institution can invite them, review each one against its needs and keep the proposer’s right to match the best offer at tender.
The program
How the program could work
The program can sit inside the institution’s estates, technology and finance departments, with a PPP lead at its center and offers built from the land, buildings and services it holds.
- PPP team
- A small team of engineering, estates, technology, legal and finance people that covers every relevant PPP in Jordan’s pipeline.
- Courthouses
- Courthouses and judicial complexes built and maintained under availability contracts.
- Digital courts
- Case management, digital archives, video hearing rooms and public kiosks run to agreed service levels.
- Rehabilitation
- Correction and rehabilitation centers, with classrooms and workshops, maintained by partners and paired with vocational training.
- Direct proposals
- Facility and service projects proposed under Article 15 and reviewed before they move forward.
- Pilots
- Small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million, such as a courthouse renovation or a training workshop.
- Partners
- Agreements with developers, contractors, technology firms, training providers, banks and infrastructure funds.
What the institution gains
The institution gains modern courthouses, digital services and rehabilitation centers delivered faster, maintained to agreed standards for decades and paid for over the life of each asset.
It also gains budget room and better public service. Partners who run buildings, systems and training let the institution focus on its core duties, while citizens reach the courts more easily and people leaving the centers return to their communities with skills they can use.
Next steps
How a justice or correctional body can start
Any justice or correctional institution in Jordan can take this guide forward. The first steps use the land, buildings and partners it already has.
01
Mandate
Leadership approval for a PPP program, with its services, its facilities and its first-year goals.
02
Team
A named program lead, with engineering, estates, technology, legal and finance people drawn from the institution’s existing departments.
03
Pipeline
A map of Jordan’s $86 billion of projects by sector and stage, and the building, digital and training needs of courts and centers.
04
Estate
A survey of courthouses, archives, rehabilitation centers, workshops and utilities, with the projects that suit a PPP.
05
Partners
Developers, contractors, technology firms, training providers, banks and infrastructure funds.
06
Pilot
A first courthouse, digital service or training project, or a direct proposal invited from companies, taken from idea to submission.
Jordan has the projects, the engineers and a law that lets companies propose their own. A PPP program puts your institution at the center of how the superintelligent infrastructure future builds courts that serve every citizen and centers that prepare people to return home.
