The following table sets out suggested content for reporting to the contract director by a government party entity with delegated responsibilities in relation to a Partnerships Victoria project, as part of the contract director's monitoring of broader contractual matters and the 'health' of the private party. The contract director should adapt and add to this content as appropriate for the specific project and to reflect the specific role of the delegation entity.
Report section | Guidance on content |
Strategic performance and realisation of project benefits | Information on project outcomes and the realisation of the benefits of the project. In many projects, information from the delegation entity will be vital to an understanding of whether the project's expected benefits are being realised. |
The private party's compliance with the output specification | The delegation entity may be in a position to provide information the private party's compliance with the output specification, and it may be the party best placed to assess how any non-compliances may affect service outcomes and the realisation of project benefits. |
The private party's, and key subcontractors', organisational structure, and the quality of their management and operating personnel | The delegation entity is likely to have its own relationships with the private party, and its key subcontractors. It may therefore be able to provide important information to support the contract director's monitoring and reporting to senior management in respect of the private party's, and key subcontractors', organisational structure, and the quality of their management and operating personnel. |
Government's relationship with the private party | The delegation entity's own relationships with the private party will also enable it to provide the contract director with information on the quality of this relationship and relationships with subcontractors. |
