Public-Private Partnership Programs Course in Dubai

Intensive two-day Public–Private Partnership (PPP) program in Dubai that walks you through PPP scope, delivery models, deal structuring, risk-sharing, critical contract clauses, project finance, dispute handling, renegotiation and termination options. Develop the practical capability to design, tender, finance and oversee resilient PPP projects in Dubai with clearly defined responsibilities for government and private partners.

Public-Private Partnership Course

This two-day Public–Private Partnership (PPP) workshop in Dubai is tailored for government, semi-government and related professionals who require a clear, hands-on view of how PPP projects are planned, structured, financed and run over time. The program looks at where PPPs fit within Dubai’s infrastructure and service delivery needs, compares different PPP contract models and their pros and cons, and follows the full PPP journey—from initial concept and structuring, through risk allocation and project finance, to managing disputes, renegotiation and eventual handback or exit.

Why Public-Private Partnerships Training is Important in Dubai, UAE

This PPP workshop in Dubai takes participants step by step through the core elements of designing and delivering Public–Private Partnerships. It begins by setting out why and when governments use PPPs, linking PPP objectives to Dubai’s wider infrastructure and service priorities. From there, it looks at PPP policy and regulatory frameworks, the main requirements for sound structuring, and the technical, legal, institutional and commercial dimensions that must align for a deal to be bankable. The program also highlights how clear sector strategies, government support and well-defined responsibilities create an environment where PPPs can succeed. Participants then explore the main PPP contract formats, approaches to risk sharing, and key contractual tools—such as liquidated damages, force majeure, liability caps, indemnities, performance security and intellectual property provisions.

 

Building on this foundation, the course strengthens participants’ capacity to interpret the legal, financial and risk consequences of different PPP structures, map stakeholder roles and responsibilities, and prepare for effective negotiation and contract management. Core project finance ideas—cash flow profiles, debt service, returns to investors and lender protections—are explained in accessible terms so non-finance specialists can follow. The workshop also addresses how to anticipate and manage disputes, when and how to renegotiate contracts, and how to plan for expiry, handback or early exit. Practical exercise sheets and case-based activities are used throughout so participants can directly apply the concepts to PPP scenarios similar to those emerging in Dubai.

FAQs

Dubai continues to launch large-scale initiatives in transport, utilities, social infrastructure and smart-city services, many of which rely on collaboration between government and the private sector. This workshop helps Dubai-based professionals understand how well-designed PPPs can mobilise private investment, transfer appropriate risks and support high-quality public services over the full contract life.

The course is designed for staff of Dubai government entities, agencies, regulators, state-owned enterprises and public-service operators who are involved in planning, appraising, procuring, contracting or monitoring PPP projects. It is equally relevant for advisers, consultants, bankers and private-sector sponsors who work on PPP transactions with Dubai public authorities and want a structured, practical overview of the full PPP process.

The tools and frameworks covered can be applied to a wide range of Dubai initiatives, including roads and metro extensions, ports and airports, desalination and power projects, waste and recycling facilities, health and education buildings, and digital platforms delivering public services. The emphasis is on giving you a repeatable way to structure and assess PPPs across sectors, rather than focusing on a single type of asset.

No. The course starts with the basics—PPP scope, objectives, contract types, and pros and cons—before moving into more advanced topics such as structuring requirements, stakeholder roles, detailed contractual provisions, project finance and dispute resolution. This layered approach makes the workshop accessible to newcomers while still adding depth for participants who already have some exposure to PPP projects.

The workshop addresses dispute resolution mechanisms such as ADR, arbitration and litigation, as well as step-in rights, substitution, contract renegotiation scenarios, exit options and handover strategies, giving you a clear view of how PPPs are managed when circumstances change.
