PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
The US Department of Commerce Commercial Law Development Program (CLDP) aims to improve the legal environment for doing business in countries around the globe, thereby fostering greater political stability and economic opportunities. CLDP consultative services and programs assist political, regulatory, judicial, and commercial leaders to augment their policies, laws and organizational structures.
In recent years, Saudi Arabia has developed new commercial laws to prepare the country for a transformation to a knowledge-based economy that encourages innovation and entrepreneurship. Important to attracting foreign investment and the transfer of knowledge and technology to Saudi Arabia, the Government of Saudi Arabia has developed commercial laws that are in line with international best practices and present Saudi Arabia as an effective partner in the global economy.
The Government of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 is a road map that depends upon implementation roles by the Government of Saudi Arabia as well as the private and public industry sectors in Saudi Arabia. As critical components of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), these communities must coordinate their efforts and reach milestones that will allow Vision 2030 to reach its potential. Commercial laws related to international trade and business are important components to reach the Vision 2030 goals to increase innovation and diversification in the Saudi Arabia economy. In pertinent part, KSA is ambitious about the use of public private partnership (PPP) in order to reach 2030 development and modernization goals.
Healthcare procurement is a significant component of Saudi Arabia's vision and development to serve its growing community. The Government of Saudi Arabia has and will continue to contract with healthcare providers to build hospitals and provide healthcare in the Kingdom. Through best practices in procurement and PPP establishment, Saudi Arabia can attract the highest quality of healthcare organizations and personnel.
In order to support the Government of Saudi Arabia to facilitate the economic transformation targeted by Vision 2030, CLDP in collaboration with the US Government Services Administration (GSA) will conduct a seminar regarding best practices in government procurement and public private partnerships (PPPs). During the webinar on 29 September 2022, participant Saudi officials will hear presentations and interact with US Government Officials regarding Procurement Lifecycle, Market Research & Acquisition Planning in Healthcare, Best Value Calculations, Framework Agreements in Healthcare, Value for Money and Lifecycle Cost Analysis, and Introduction to PPPs and Trends in PPP Contracting in the Gulf.
