6.1  Introduction

This Chapter commences by identifying partnership, risk and performance management factors that may contribute towards achieving VfM outcomes for the public partner during the operating phase of PPPs; along with a range of documentation and / or actions that can potentially be used as a foundation to assess whether VfM outcomes are being achieved in practice. The issues established in the theory and case study chapters - those that may detract from the achievement of intended VfM outcomes - are first re-stated along with suggested treatment actions. The concept of a generic integrated PPP operational model that embraces each of three management perspectives (partnership, risk and performance management) is then explored.
