PPP Project Preparation
& Contract Management

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.
