H.7.6  Knowledge and information management

A government party's ability to manage a contract successfully can depend on the contract director having an effective knowledge and information management strategy tailored to the project's needs. In a well-managed PPP project, the contract director ensures the information collected in relation to a project is maintained, periodically reviewed and organised for easy retrieval and access. These practices assist the government party to comply with:

•  record-keeping obligations;

•  disclosure obligations, such as those under Freedom of Information legislation; and

•  intellectual property laws and confidentiality obligations.
