Webinar narrative:
In virtually every infrastructure PPP contract, disputes between the parties will occasionally arise – which is not surprising, given the complexity and the long duration of such contracts. These disputes may lead to renegotiation requests or, in some instances, the premature termination of the contract. The frequency and impact of these outcomes has given rise to a great deal of criticism of the PPP model, even though contractual disputes are also quite common in construction projects which are not PPP transactions.
Well designed PPP contracts become more resilient with robust dispute avoidance mechanisms (partnering, visualization, standing dispute boards, co-mediation) and may play a major role in improving the delivery of essential infrastructure services around the world.
