Build the contract register and obligation tracker covering build-operate-transfer contracts.
Managing Build, Operate and Transfer Contracts for Power Plants
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to build-operate-transfer contracts.
Course Overview
A contract governing build-operate-transfer contracts that nobody administers is a document, not a control. The cost of getting this part of legal and contractual practice wrong is rarely the judgment; it is the years spent reaching it. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the wider legal and contractual practice agenda so that teams can disagree productively about it. Progress on build-operate-transfer contracts is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The most reliable predictor of sound this aspect of legal and contractual practice is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this area of legal and contractual practice. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for build-operate-transfer contracts, not for observers of it. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a contract template for the legal and contractual practice capability as they go. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this aspect of legal and contractual practice sustainable.
