Public Service Concession, Administrative Collaboration, Administrative Contract, Public Interest, Portuguese administrative lawAbstract
The article examines public service concessions as a primary form of collaboration between public administration and private entities, focusing on their legal nature, conceptual foundations, contractual frameworks, and regulatory implications. The author rejects the private nature of concessions and upholds the view that they constitute administrative contracts with partially regulatory effects. The study discusses major European doctrinal approaches and their application in Portuguese law, arguing that public service concessions are bilateral agreements aimed at fulfilling public interest goals through the functionally integrated participation of private parties.
