The ability of consortia partners to deliver services should be monitored to ensure intended VfM outcomes are being met. Operators may need to be replaced if they cannot deliver their contractual obligations. In certain circumstances, the private partner may need to enact business continuity plans to ensure service delivery is not disrupted. Performance monitoring for this reason is therefore vital. This establishes a link between risk and performance management.
A relationship has also been identified between contract termination and end of concession hand-over as there are responsibilities that need to be fulfilled before change of ownership can be completed.
