In such contracts\, the private sector mostly bears risks (financial\, technical\, operational\, etc.) and management respons ibility.\n\nThese contracts help formally define the relationship between both sectors\, their responsibilities\, sharing of risks and change manage ment mechanisms. These are long-term contracts\, with enough time for the private partner to recover costs of investment.\n\nA draft contract is typ ically prepared before the final one is agreed upon and closed. A well-des igned contract is clear and comprehensive and fosters certainty for the co ntracting parties. However\, when preparing these contracts\, care should be taken to maintain enough flexibility to afford changes in future.\n\nIn volving the future contract manager or authorities is one way to facilitat e seamless change management in contracts. Effectiveness of PPP contracts is largely dependent on the negotiation of these contracts.\n\nNegotiation is a dynamic process of argument and eventual agreement of the two partie s to a set of common goals and objectives and related clauses of work.\n\n Negotiation of PPP contracts is extremely important as it determines and c onfirms terms and conditions for the long-term association between the two parties\, keeping in mind and making provisions for future adjustments an d changes in case of amendments.\n\nRe-negotiations are not preferred beca use of various reasons\, and hence\, it is extremely necessary that the in itial contract negotiations are clear and effective. Managing PPP contract s involves monitoring and enforcing PPP contract requirements and managing the relationship between the public and private partners. Contract manage ment spans across the tenure of the contract.\n\nLike negotiation\, manage ment also needs to be flexible in terms of resources and skill to be able to meet expectations through the life cycle of the project.\n\nThe main ob jective of PPP contract management is to ensure that the output matches th e expectations and the specifications set out in the contract and that the re are provisions for ongoing affordability\, value for money\, appropriat e risk transfer management\, etc. Appropriate contract management also inv olves anticipating future needs and reacting appropriately to unforeseen c ircumstances.\n\nThis Xcelerate Training Institute course will empower you with an in-depth understanding\, experience and skills to successfully ne gotiate and manage PPP contracts. Further\, through this course\, you will gain experience and exposure to different situations and challenges relat ed to PPP contracts.\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nThe main objective of this Masterclass in Public Private Partnership (PPP) Contract and Agreement cou rse is to empower the public and/or private sector professionals with:\n\n Complete knowledge and information related to PPP contract development\, negotiation\, and management.\n Information and understanding of the req uired tools and techniques to successfully establish contracts for the org anization\, keeping provisions and flexibility for future change.\n The n ecessary information about the principles and concepts for establishing a robust yet flexible contract design.\n The required experience and skill to link risk assessment to related provisional clauses in contracts.\n In -depth knowledge and exposure to fundamental concepts for successful contr act negotiations.\n The confidence and skill to manage change during the tenure of the contract.\n the required skill\, confidence\, knowledge and experience to play an important role in contract development\, negotiatio n and management\, thus demonstrating potential and prospect for faster ca reer growth and progression.\n\nTraining Methodology\n\nThis Xcelerate Tra ining Institute course involves face-to-face classroom sessions\, with rel ated presentations and delivery by the trainer.
