Aim

2.1  The purpose of this Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement and the Project Agreements is to establish a long-term partnering relationship between hubco and the Participants and for the hubco to provide or procure, across the Territory as a whole, the provision of appropriate accommodation and related services to the Participants and others involved in providing Community Services with the aim of:

2.1.1  improving the efficiency of delivery of community-based facilities; 

2.1.2  delivering economies of scale through shared facilities;

2.1.3  making the best use of public resources; and

2.1.4  providing continuous improvement in both cost and quality in public procurement.

2.2  The aim of this Clause 2 is to identify the high level principles which underpin the delivery of the Parties' obligations under this Agreement and to set out key factors for a successful relationship between the Parties.  Whilst it is recognised that these principles are difficult to measure in isolation, the successful implementation of the Project Agreements, the Shareholders Agreement and this Agreement will depend on the Participants' ability effectively to co-ordinate and combine their expertise, manpower and resources in order to deliver an integrated approach to Community Services in the Territory under this Agreement.
