Training Course Overview
It is widely acknowledged that thorough project preparation and effective contract management are crucial for the success of any Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project. Unlike the traditional arms-length approach to service procurement and project execution, the PPP model fosters a collaborative relationship built on openness and trust between the public and private sectors. Well-conceived and feasible projects attract greater interest from potential investors and showcase the benefits of moving forward to the procurement phase.
This PPP Project Preparation & Contract Management training course is designed to guide you through the best practices for preparing for a PPP project and managing the procurement process. You will learn to identify, assess, and allocate key risks in structuring PPP contracts and explore essential issues for managing these long-term, high-risk agreements. By examining both the commercial landscape and the background of PPPs, this course will deepen your understanding of their role in infrastructure procurement and project success.
This Anderson training course will feature:
- Selection of a PPP contract type for given project context
- What constitutes a sound feasibility approach
- How to perform a basic project appraisal

- Focus on principal ways PPP contracts can be properly managed
MODULES
This training course is split into two modules:
MODULE I - Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) Project Preparation
MODULE II - Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) Contract Management
Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.
