Summary/Abstract: It is now 10 years since Poland adopted the Act on PPP. The first act did not, however, contribute to the signing of any PPP contracts. The reasons for that stemmed essentially from the shortcomings of the formal-legal solutions embraced at that time. It was only when Poland adopted a new Act on PPP (December 19, 2008) as well as on concession for construction works and services (January 9, 2009) that more favourable conditions for concluding PPP contracts were created. This article aims to identify the legal and institutional solutions embraced in Poland and in other countries implementing the PPP formula. The main sources of information include: publications released by EPEC, the World Bank, the Ministry of Economy, institutions responsible for the implementation of PPP in the countries under analysis, as well as the results of questionnaire surveys. The analysis of the adopted legalinstitutional solutions allows to conclude that not all of the countries concerned have special PPP-related legal regulations. In each country, however, there is at least one PPP-related unit responsible for promoting the notion of public-private partnership.
