Why Choose this Training Course?

The Negotiating and Managing PPP Contracts training course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), covering the journey from fundamental principles to practical implementation through real-world examples. Participants will examine both successful and unsuccessful PPP projects to identify valuable lessons that support better project evaluation, procurement, contract drafting, negotiation, and long-term contract management. The training also addresses common misconceptions surrounding PPPs while exploring practical issues such as stakeholder engagement, contractual performance management, contract variations, renegotiation, and dispute prevention.

Public-Private Partnerships offer governments and public authorities an effective mechanism for attracting private sector investment, technical expertise, and innovation to deliver critical infrastructure and public services. They also enable public organisations to transition from owning and operating assets to effectively procuring and managing services from the private sector. However, with increasing global competition for investment, financing, and specialist expertise, successful PPP implementation depends on developing strong institutional capability, sound governance practices, effective contract management, and a thorough understanding of PPP frameworks. This Negotiating and Managing PPP Contracts training course equips participants with the practical knowledge required to improve project outcomes, strengthen contractual relationships, and support sustainable PPP success.

  • Best practices for PPP project evaluation and procurement
