As institutions deal with depleting capital funding sources, public private partnerships (P3s) remain a particularly viable source of capital funding for the housing sector. However, as competition in the private sector grows, institutions must leverage the RFP process to ensure their needs are met within a financially sustainable project. To do this, colleges and universities must develop clear financial expectations.
Join us for an online training that covers critical considerations to ensure the viability of your institution’s residential P3. Through the context of a successfully executed RFP, our expert presenter will walk through:
- Establishing stakeholders in the P3 planning process
- Setting a scope for your RFP
- Creating financial parameters around debt coverage ratio
