Introduction

Public-Private Partnerships Options Analysis is a strategic process for determining whether a public service, infrastructure project, or development programme should be delivered through a Public-Private Partnership arrangement, traditional public procurement, or another delivery model. Public-Private Partnerships Options Analysis Training Course provides participants with practical knowledge of options appraisal, value for money, affordability analysis, risk allocation, commercial feasibility, financial modelling, market assessment, and Public-Private Partnerships decision-making. The course integrates international Public-Private Partnerships frameworks, evidence-based project evaluation, financial analysis, procurement strategy, and strategic infrastructure planning to strengthen investment decisions.

The course focuses on the complete options analysis lifecycle, from project identification and needs assessment to delivery-model comparison, economic appraisal, stakeholder analysis, risk assessment, and final recommendation. Participants will examine global case studies and apply practical tools for evaluating Public-Private Partnerships opportunities, testing project assumptions, assessing private-sector participation, and developing defensible recommendations. The programme is designed to support governments, infrastructure agencies, Public-Private Partnerships units, development institutions, and private-sector stakeholders in improving project preparation, investment outcomes, transparency, and long-term public value.
