Why Choose this Training Course?
PPP can mobilize private sector investment and expertise to provide much-needed infrastructure and public services. It can transform government departments and contracting authorities from being owners and operators of assets into knowledgeable purchasers of services from the private sector. However, with more than 110 countries competing for PPP funding and expertise, success depends on the development of public and private sector capacity and understanding of PPP.
In this Contracts Management course, we examine PPP from first principles to real-world examples, learning from the success and failure of PPP projects around the world. We introduce, demonstrate and test best practice recommendations for project evaluation, contractual drafting, procurement and contract management. We dispel some common myths and misconceptions concerning PPP, and we address crucial practical issues such as community and stakeholder engagement, incentivizing or compelling contractual performance and dealing with requests for variation or renegotiation of contract terms.
The principal highlights of the training course are:
- Best practice for project evaluation and procurement
- What makes a "bankable" PPP?
- How to use payment mechanisms to incentivize or enforce contractual performance
- The lessons we can learn from PPP successes and failures
- The essential role of good contract management – from beginning to end
What are the Goals?
This training course will enhance your ability to determine whether PPP is the best vehicle for your projects, and to ensure that you have in place the contract terms and contract management techniques to ensure long-term success.
At the end of this training course, you will learn to:
- Analyze and evaluate project proposals to decide whether they are suitable for PPP
- Apply best practice in procurement, promoting transparency, fairness and "Bankability"
