As the country faces socio-economic processes, the public sector is constantly looking for new ways and legal means of meeting the growing needs of the society. Thus, while undertaking the functions of public administration, the public sector is obliged by the society to improve the quality of public services, and to modernize or develop new infrastructure objects with lower costs. Without the necessary financial capacity, the public sector offers its skills, experience and funding for problem-solving. This paper relies on the concept of public-private partnership (PPP), defined as cooperation in development of public infrastructure projects and provision of public services. In the contemporary democratic Lithuania, there is a need for solutions of public issues that are important to the society, e.g. ecologic security, public order, social care, education and all other social issues. This main purpose of this paper is to show that there is a possibility in PPP projects to balance the public interests and civil needs with the interests of private sector for the mutual benefit. The research object of this article is oriented towards the social-legal need for PPP projects and real possibilities for their implementation. In addition, the paper discusses the methods of legal communication on PPP projects in Lithuania. The paper also includes the overview of the activities of the Central project management agency as the public administration subject in the context of the PPP development in Lithuania. While analyzing the raised problems, the author suggests to evaluate systemically the PPP of a certain period, taking into account the needs and possibilities that are potentially important for the development of economy and coherent interaction of economics and law.

The article analyses the use of the concept of public–private partnerships in Lithuania ("the concept") and its alteration with economic, political and other social changes in the administrative law. The alteration of the concept is considered in legal theory, legislation, and legal practice through analysis of scientific publications, conference materials, legal acts, cases of public-private partnerships. The author aims at evaluating the framework, the functional and distinguishing features of the concept, revealing and upholding the adequate definition of public–private partnership, and identifying the factors having an effect on the change of the concept. While analysing the changes in the understanding of the concept, the author stresses that the legislation that reveals the understanding of the concept has been delayed. After the analysis of theoretical issues raised in the paper, the author proposes several versions of a public–private partnership.

Šiame straipsnyje, analizuojant mokslines publikacijas, teisės aktus, konkrečių konferencijų medžiagą, parodoma viešojo ir privataus sektorių sampratos genezė teisės teorijoje, legislatyvinėje veikloje. Siekiama atskleisti, kad iki dabar vyrauja viešojo ir privataus sektoriaus tikslesnės bei vieningos sampratos visiems teisės subjektams paieška ir jos teisinio vartojimo būtinybė, įgyvendinant viešojo administravimo funkcijas. Papildant viešojo ir privataus sektorių partnerystės suvokimą, konkrečiais pavyzdžiais teisinėje praktikoje siekiama įvertinti sampratos orientacinius, funkcinius bei skiriamuosius bruožus, nustatyti tinkamą viešojo bei privataus sektorių partnerystės sąvokos apibrėžimą ir dėl jo pritarti, nusakyti sampratos suvokimo vertę lemiančius veiksnius. Straipsnyje pateikti praktiniai pavyzdžiai suponuoja mintį, kad viešojo ir privataus sektoriaus partnerystės suvokimas priklauso nuo konkrečiai atliktų projektų naudos, užtikrinant viešąjį interesą. Analizuojant sampratos suvokimo kaitą, pabrėžiama, jog vėluoja įstatymų leidyba, atskleidžianti šios sampratos teorinį suvokimą. Straipsnyje buvo iškelta hipotezė, kad viešojo ir privataus sektorių partnerystės prasmės, esmės paieška vien teisinėje erdvėje, neatsižvelgiant į esančius socialinius tarpdalykinius ryšius, apsunkino šios sampratos suvokimą, galimybę daugiau remtis praturtinančių ją kitų socialinių mokslų integralia informacija, taip pat stabdė partnerystės sklaidą Lietuvoje. Autorės požiūriu, viešojo ir privataus sektorių partnerystės kategorijos kilmės ir turinio kaitos analizė atskleidžia tokio bendradarbiavimo objektyvųjį poreikį Lietuvoje. Pakeistas ir papildytas kategorija "Viešojo ir privataus sektorių partnerystė" investicijų įstatymas bei papildyti ir nauji priimti kiti teisės aktai parodo viešojo bei privataus sektorių sampratos aiškumo poreikį Lietuvoje. Pati viešojo ir privataus sektorių partnerystės teisinė kategorija atsirado kiek pavėluotai – 2009 m. birželio 16 d., nors įstatymas priimtas prieš dešimtmetį. Pabrėžiama, kad įstatymu įteisinus viešosios ir privačios partnerystės sąvoką, turėtų būti įvertinti visi galiojantys teisės aktai. Čia atskaitos taškas būtų šios sąvokos pagrindimas bei suderinimas su kitais teisės aktuose galiojančiais terminais.
