1- Simple Outsourcing Contracts: involve outsourcing employees to provide the technical support or services (e.g. guarding , cleaning, maintenance, or operating building or some facilities) or assigning a supplier to manage and operate minor tasks including accounting, information technology or collection, etc. Finance lease contracts may fall under this category for the lack of the private sector finance in this kind of contracts and lack of risk sharing which are the main features of partnership contracts.
2- Franchise Contracts: The contracts that are regulated and governed by their own laws.
