Public-Private Partnerships: Structuring, Procurement & Governance

A PPP is not free infrastructure — it is a thirty-year purchase on credit — the discipline is knowing exactly what is being bought, and at what true cost.

The programme

Governments turn to PPPs when budgets are short and needs are not — and the model works only when its discipline is respected. This programme teaches that discipline from the public side of the table: project selection and value-for-money analysis run honestly, fiscal commitments and contingent liabilities counted rather than hidden; risk allocation by the only rule that holds — to the party best able to manage each risk; procurement that attracts serious bidders and survives challenge; and the long half of the story most training ignores: contract management, renegotiations, and the governance that keeps a thirty-year deal serving the public it was signed for.

What you will do

Select and test projects: value for money and fiscal impact, honestly
Allocate risk to the party best able to manage it — and price the rest
Run PPP procurement that attracts serious bidders and survives challenge
Govern the contract for decades: performance, renegotiation, exit

Who attends

PPP unit and ministry staff; public procurement and legal teams; state-owned enterprise project teams; lenders and advisers on PPP transactions; oversight institutions.

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Programme agenda

Built for the decisions no textbook prepares you for

I.The decision to PPP
  • When PPP fits — and the projects it quietly ruins
  • Value for money tested without a thumb on the scale
  • Fiscal commitments and contingent liabilities, counted
II.Structure and procurement
  • Risk allocation: the matrix built from capability, not bargaining power
  • Bankability: what lenders require and what it costs the public side
  • The competitive process: dialogue, evaluation, defensible award
III.The thirty years after
  • Contract management: performance regimes actually enforced
  • Renegotiation: the inevitable request, handled from strength
  • Hand-back and the asset the public actually receives

Frequently asked

Who is the PPP training designed for?

It is built for PPP unit and ministry staff, public procurement and legal teams, state-owned enterprise project teams, lenders and advisers on PPP transactions, and oversight institutions. The discipline is taught from the public side of the table, where value for money and risk allocation are decided.

Does the course go beyond procurement of the PPP?

Yes — deliberately. Alongside project selection, value-for-money analysis, fiscal commitments and contingent liabilities, risk allocation and a procurement process that survives challenge, the programme covers the long half most training ignores: contract management, renegotiations and the governance that keeps a thirty-year deal serving the public. It is professional training, not legal advice.

Can BIZENIUS run this PPP programme in-house and in French?

Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the programme in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your PPP pipeline and institutional framework. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
