  produced by government agencies and PPP units
  from around the world, such as standardized
  bidding documents

• Agreements posted on the website are intended as
  samples and NOT models.
• Agreements that are not already in the public
  domain have been sanitized to preserve
  confidentiality.
• The sample agreements have been annotated to
  indicate provisions that are noteworthy, unusual,
  or applicable only in special circumstances.
• Each model agreement is accompanied by a summary.
