Sustaining and Closing PPP Contracts

The Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) Contract Management training course begins by examining the PPP framework, principal contractual structures and the stages of the project lifecycle, before considering the respective roles and responsibilities of public and private partners. It then addresses the foundations of effective contract governance, including contractual obligations, risk allocation, management arrangements and the interpretation of key provisions. The agenda progresses to performance management, covering service requirements, performance indicators, monitoring, reporting and the relationship between assessed performance and payment mechanisms.

The course subsequently focuses on managing issues that arise during contract delivery, including underperformance, contractual changes, claims, variations and the maintenance of productive stakeholder relationships. It considers the procedures for addressing disagreements, escalation and dispute resolution, together with the circumstances surrounding renegotiation and termination. The final part follows the contract towards expiry and closure, addressing preparations for handback, asset condition, transition responsibilities and the completion of contractual obligations, thereby linking day-to-day administration with the later stages of the PPP contract lifecycle.
