Why Choose this Training Course?

This Supervising and Monitoring PPP and Concession Contracts training course equips professionals with the knowledge and practical frameworks required to oversee the effective implementation and long-term performance of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and concession contracts. While successful procurement establishes the foundation for a PPP project, sustainable value is realised through disciplined contract supervision, continuous performance monitoring, proactive risk management, and effective governance throughout the operational lifecycle. Participants will gain practical understanding of contract oversight, performance management systems, compliance monitoring, governance frameworks, and stakeholder coordination practices that support successful long-term infrastructure partnerships.

Supervising and monitoring a Public Private Partnership (PPP) contract is the discipline of ensuring that a private partner delivers the assets and services it committed to, at the agreed standard, price and risk allocation, across the full operating life of a concession. It is the phase in which the value negotiated at financial close is either protected or quietly eroded. This PetroKnowledge training course equips public officials with the frameworks, tools and practical techniques to establish a contract management function, monitor performance against defined standards, enforce compliance, and apply the payment and deduction mechanisms that keep a concession on track and aligned with the public interest.

This Supervising and Monitoring PPP and Concession Contracts training course will highlight:

  • Contract supervision and governance frameworks for PPPs and concessions
  • Performance monitoring and service delivery management systems
  • Compliance assurance, reporting, and risk oversight practices
  • Contract administration, stakeholder engagement, and dispute prevention
  • Strengthening contracting authority capability and long-term contract performance
