Project performance

Information from the delegation entity on the delivery of overall service outcomes from the project, to the extent that the delegation entity's role enables it to make such an assessment, focusing on whether the project is meeting the relevant need.

Service delivery performance

Information from the delegation entity on the private party's performance against the KPIs or service requirements during the relevant performance period, to the extent that the delegation entity's role enables it to assess performance. In many cases, the delegation entity will provide information that assists the contract director to validate or challenge the private party's self-reporting of its performance against the KPIs. Less often, the delegation entity's assessment will be the primary means of measuring performance against a KPI.

Performance trends

The delegation entity may be in a position to provide information on trends in performance against the KPIs, and it may be the party best placed to assess how these trends in performance are affecting service outcomes and the realisation of project benefits.

Risks borne by the government party

The delegation entity is likely to have a role in managing some or many of the risks borne by the government party in the project. It should provide information to the contract director to support the contract director's risk monitoring and reporting to senior management.

Information related to payments

In some projects, the delegation entity will have delegated authority to take actions that have payment consequences under the Partnerships Victoria contract. For example, the delegation entity may have the right to request minor modifications that it funds itself. In such circumstances, the delegation entity should include in its reports to the contract director all information required by the contract director to appropriately calculate and manage the payments under the contract.
