Public-Private Partnership (PPP): Project, Finance and Contracts Course in London

Turning Public Infrastructure Needs into Bankable Partnerships

Public infrastructure projects must balance competing demands: limited government budgets, investor expectations, public value, long-term affordability, and complex project risks. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) provide a structured way to bring these interests together—but successful PPPs depend on far more than securing private finance.

The Public-Private Partnership (PPP): Project, Finance and Contracts training course takes you through the complete PPP lifecycle, from project identification and feasibility assessment to financing, procurement, contracting, implementation, and long-term performance management.

Across eight days, you'll examine PPP structures such as BOT, DBFOM, BOO, and concessions; assess project viability and value for money; evaluate financial models and fiscal exposure; structure procurement processes; and manage contractual and stakeholder relationships. The programme also addresses ESG requirements, credit enhancement mechanisms, risk allocation, and dispute resolution to provide a practical understanding of what makes PPP projects viable and sustainable.
