The source, amount and purpose of funding for contract management arrangements should be set out in the contract administration manual. Usually contract management funding is provided via a budget allocation that is comprised of a number of specific items. The contract administration manual should set out the details of the budgetary allocation which usually include items such as staffing, operations, consultancy, capital (if required) and the period for each specific budgetary allocation.
Where a Partnership Victoria project is being managed within a broader departmental PPP contract management unit, specific budgetary allocations for each project should be articulated. If the project being managed within a larger budgetary allocation 'pool', the internal allowance for the specific project allocation should be set out.
