PPP Feasibility Study Agent
The PPP Feasibility Study Agent drafts and checks feasibility studies under Treasury Regulation 16, as amended from 1 June 2025, covering needs analysis, options analysis, the public sector comparator, value for money, affordability, the risk transfer matrix and the procurement plan. It assembles the supporting documents the relevant Treasury approval requires, so your study moves through the process with fewer queries and rework.

The difference
From 20-30 hours per feasibility chapter to 3-5 hours
Your project team reaches a complete, internally consistent study weeks sooner and spends that time engaging Treasury and stakeholders.

Indicative figures. We measure your own baseline in the first fortnight so the numbers you see are yours.
Fewer rounds of Treasury queries
Feasibility studies often come back because chapters contradict each other or evidence is thin. The agent checks that your needs, options, affordability and risk chapters tell one consistent story before submission.
Clear on the amended regime
The June 2025 amendments exempt projects under R2 billion from Treasury Approvals IIA and IIB and recognise unsolicited proposals. The agent applies the approval path that fits your project value and structure.
Advisers focus on judgement
Your transaction advisers spend their time on option selection and risk allocation, not on reformatting tables and chasing cross-references across a long study.
Capabilities
Build Treasury-ready PPP feasibility studies faster, with every chapter consistent and complete.
Built for national, provincial and municipal project officers, PPP units, GTAC advisers and transaction advisers preparing PPP feasibility studies in South Africa.
Needs and options analysis
Drafts the needs analysis and a structured options analysis that compares conventional procurement, PPP and other delivery models against your institution's strategic objectives and budget.
Public sector comparator checks
Reviews the PSC and PPP reference models for consistent assumptions, escalation, discount rates and risk adjustments, and flags gaps before value for money is tested.
Value for money and affordability
Summarises the value for money case and tests affordability against the institution's MTEF budget and funding sources, highlighting any gap your accounting officer must address.
Risk transfer matrix
Builds and checks the risk matrix, confirming each risk has an owner, a mitigation and a pricing treatment that matches the PSC and the proposed payment mechanism.
Procurement plan and approval pack
Drafts the procurement plan and assembles the documents for the applicable Treasury approval under Treasury Regulation 16, or MFMA section 120 for municipal PPPs.
Consistency and completeness review
Reads the full study end to end, cross-checks figures between chapters and the models, and produces a gap list before the study goes for internal sign-off.
How it works

Your transaction advisers and project officer review every chapter, and the accounting officer signs and submits the study for Treasury approval.

The same agent and the same cited output, delivered three ways: through the AI assistant you have rolled out, on a model you host yourself, or inside your own software.
In the frontier assistant you already pay for
We publish the agent as an MCP server. Add it as a connector and your team calls it from the chat they use every day, with no new tool to learn.

How we deliver it
One agent, three ways to hold it
Start where your team already works, then take it as far into your systems as the value justifies.
DATA SECURITY & PRIVACY
Your project documents stay yours.
The agent runs inside your tenancy, reads only what each task needs, and never trains on your project documents. Every step is logged so your auditors can see exactly what it touched.
Built for regulated work.
