How does PPEA work?
Through the PPEA, the private sector can submit unsolicited proposals to any agency, institution, or locality in the Commonwealth. The proposed projects should serve the public interest, such as improved services. It is up to the public entity to determine whether there is a need for the project, whether private sector involvement will be a timely and cost-effective way to implement the project, and whether to reject the proposal or accept it for further review and consideration. The Office of the Secretary of Technology has published Model Procedures to guide the PPEA review process.
