Abstract: This article provides a comprehensive legal analysis of Public-Private Partnership Projects (PPP) projects within the Sultanate of Oman, focusing on the existing legal and regulatory framework that governs these initiatives [3]. The paper will critically examine Oman’s PPP identification and approval process, evaluating its effectiveness against established legal standards. However, in addition to the legal framework in the Sultanate of Oman, the analysis will also showcase the best practices in certain legal frameworks from two more jurisdictions: the United Kingdom and the People’s Republic of China [11]. This showcasing will highlight both the strengths and weaknesses of Oman’s legal architecture in relation to global best practices. Essentially, the article employs a theoretical perspective to identify essential elements that should be included in an effective PPP legal framework. A case study of a successful PPP project in Oman is provided, illustrating the practical application of the discussed legal principles [6]. This analysis aims to contribute meaningful insights to the discourse on PPP, aiding policymakers and legal scholars in enhancing the effectiveness of PPP legislation in Oman [4].
