- Generally, PPP working committees and departments of treasury and finance could be more supportive of the contract management function by recognising that, in order to obtain better VfM outcomes, contract management teams should be provided with improved resourcing, such as additional funding for employing suitably qualified staff with the ability to respond appropriately to strategic risks and opportunities.
