In addition to income sharing arrangements the Contract may also include provisions for profit sharing. There is no standard approach to such arrangements defined by WIDP although it is typical for the definition of profit (or excess cash) to exclude any source of income that has already been subject to specific sharing arrangements.
The arrangement for remitting a profit share to the Authority may or may not be integrated into the Payment Mechanism. If it is separate this should be highlighted in the Contract Management Manual and responsibility for reviewing the periodic calculations should be clearly assigned to one member of the Contract Management Team.
