4.9 Training forms a key part of the preparation of the public sector team for the PPP procurement process. This can include both generalist courses such as negotiation skills and investment appraisal and PPP specific courses such as understanding the PPP procurement process and developing payment mechanisms.
4.10 SG Capital Planning and Asset Management can provide information on available training and training programmes and funding is available to support training needs identified within projects via a structured skills gap analysis. Project Directors of current projects may submit bids for funding for local initiatives or for funds to enable eligible staff to benefit from the central provision of training. Various external bodies host and facilitate PPP training. This can usefully complement the sources available from websites detailed above.
