Negotiating and Managing PPP Contracts

Introduction

In this course, we will examine PPP from its fundamentals to real-world examples, learning from the successes and failures of PPP projects around the world.

The best training recommendations for project evaluation, contractual drafting, procurement, and contract management are introduced, demonstrated, and examined.

In this course, we dispel some common PPP myths and misconceptions, as well as address critical practical issues such as community and stakeholder engagement, incentivizing or compelling contractual performance, and dealing with requests for contract variation or renegotiation.

Individual sector investment and expertise can be mobilized through PPP to provide much-needed infrastructure and public services. It has the potential to transform government agencies and contracting authorities from asset owners and operators to knowledgeable buyers of private-sector services.

However, with over 110 countries competing for PPP funding and expertise, success is dependent on improving public and private sector space and understanding of PPP.
