Last updated: August 10, 2026

Figures as of August 2026. Methodology: /docs/methodology.

How many social-infrastructure concessions does Concessio track?

1,719 visible social-infrastructure concessions across 40 countries, as of August 2026. The table below shows the eight markets with the deepest visible stock; the remaining roughly 32 countries carry smaller counts each and aren't broken out individually here.

This is a selected-markets table, not the full 40-country breakdown, and its rows should not be added together — a summed figure would be an arithmetic guess, not a verified count.

Where is coverage deepest?

The United Kingdom leads with 673 visible social-infrastructure concessions — the PFI and PF2 estate of schools, hospitals and civic buildings, documented in official government project data — followed by Japan (526), whose municipal PFI program spans gymnasiums, courts and public housing. Canada (123), France (91), Italy (54) and Chile (44) follow. This is a class where official registries publish unusually complete data: 1,556 of the 1,719 visible records carry a documented end date, the strongest end-date coverage in Concessio.

Where does near-term re-tender pressure concentrate?

179 social-infrastructure records in Concessio's expiring pipeline reach end of term within 36 months. The United Kingdom accounts for 92 of them — the front edge of the UK PFI expiry wave — with Japan at 50 and France at 17. Because end-date coverage in this class is strong, the near-term figure is a comparatively complete picture of the documented pipeline.

What contract and operating data sits behind the records?

Social-infrastructure records carry 483 operational KPI records and 240 extracted contract clauses — including availability-payment mechanics, the payment model that defines the class — each cited to the underlying contract or government publication.
