Implementation of an effective public procurement system through private sector involvement is a strategy currently applied by the public sector including at the Local Authority level. The Private Finance Initiative (PFI) is a Public-Private Partnership model adopted by many Local Government in many countries as an alternative to traditional procurement. In Malaysia, since its introduction in the Ninth Malaysia Plan (2006-2010), PFI has leveraged mainly on reducing government spending, providing more efficient and effective public amenities, and gain benefits from private sector expertise and innovation. However, PFI model is occasionally considered by Local Authorities in Malaysia.

The findings of this survey shows that the most widely used private engagement method in the provision of public infrastructure and service delivery is the Complete Public Sector Delivery, followed by Traditional Contracts and Management Services Contracts. The findings also revealed that there is lack of PFI usage among the Local Authorities in Malaysia.

Therefore, a guideline for integrating PFI in Local Authorities procurement strategy is proposed in this study. 2019 Thesis https://etd.uum.edu.my/9513/ https://etd.uum.edu.my/9513/1/s900771_01.pdf text eng public https://etd.uum.edu.my/9513/2/s900771_02.pdf text eng public https://etd.uum.edu.my/9513/3/s900771_references.docx text eng public other doctoral Universiti Utara Malaysia
