Negotiating and Managing PPP Contracts
Performance Monitoring, Contract Compliance & Dispute Resolution
Course Overview
In this GLOMACS Negotiating and Managing PPP Contracts training seminar, 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. In this GLOMACS training seminar, 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.
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.
This GLOMACS training seminar will highlight:
- 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
