PPP Contract Negotiation, Strategy & Legal Agreements

PPP Contract Negotiation, Strategy & Legal Agreements

PPP Contract Negotiation, Strategy & Legal Agreements is designed to provide you with a practical understanding of how to design, develop, implement and monitor successful PPP contracts and legal agreements.

This interactive five-day programme will clarify the key parameters that make for robust PPP agreements, starting from key principles in their design and implementation all the way to the practical aspects of the contractual and legal implications of PPPs.

After reviewing the basic factors for considering Private Participation in developing infrastructure, you will learn how to best plan the process of introducing private expertise and finance. Recognising that many PPPs are used to provide public services, the course will delve into the importance of involving different stakeholders in the design of the arrangement, the appropriate allocation of risks and responsibilities between the parties, and how that is represented within a contractual arrangement. We will also look at the fiscal impact of PPPs and the need for governments to sufficiently manage direct and contingent liabilities related to such agreements.

By the end of the course, you will have learned specific and practical techniques to successfully draft and implement a PPP agreement based on international best practice.

Methodology:

This course combines theoretical presentations with relevant case studies and interactive group discussions. It strikes a careful balance between qualitative and qualitative metrics, using case studies to illustrate core concepts or address counter-positions (i.e. the public and private perspectives when undertaking a PPP project). Role-playing will also be used to showcase policy issues and their applicability with financial and bankability issues common in PPP design, development and monitoring.
