Public-private partnership (PPP) is developing dynamically in Poland, in response to the growing investment needs of primarily local and regional authorities, which face limitations of know-how, budget constrains and the provision of own contribution of projects co-financed from the EU budget. Its further development is fostered by changes in EU and national regulation for 2014–2020, which promote the implementation of PPP projects co-financed from the European funds, initiatives and institutions — the so-called blended project. The purpose of the publication is to show the specifics of such projects and their significance in the PPP market, in the context of their wider range of application in the current perspective of financing national and regional operational programs. An analysis of the sources of EU and national law, as well as the quantitative and structural analysis of the PPP market and blended projects, allowed to present model solutions, indication of advantages and barriers to the implementation of such projects by local authorities. Thanks to funding from the ERDF and the Cohesion Fund, the blended projects are distinguished by the high value of contracts concluded in the IT, waste management, energy and regeneration sectors which are, apart from transport and healthcare, preferred direction of the EU assistance.
