Although the length of transition depends on project specifics, it will typically last for up to three months (or until services are operational). During this time, it is vital that the public partner closely monitors operator performance to track progress against its completion requirements. This means that the private partner should update and report on its risk registers, business continuity plans and issue logs to the public partner, at least fortnightly. If a risk becomes an event (i.e. risk realisation) and it is expected to impact upon the planned delivery of services, the situation should be reported to the public partner sooner, within five days. These actions should provide the public partner with enough time to respond accordingly with updating / managing its contingency measures, including abatement, if applicable.
