How do I get one tick around a variable

Question

Problem assigned_to is a character field. I want 406702 to come out as '406702'
How do I do this. I thought that if I put ''' three ticks around it that would translate to 1.
IF :P_DEVELOPER_ID IS NOT NULL THEN
     :P_TYPE := ' where info.assigned_to = ''' || :P_DEVELOPER_ID || ''' ;
     END IF;
