Performance Monitoring is imperative in order to achieve the Value for Money promised by a PPP, and it must be ensured that the intended Risk Allocation of responsibilities are put into practice during the implementation phase. Throughout the lifetime of the contract, an assigned government responsible, preferably the Contract Manager, should ensure that the private sector partner is delivering services to adequate standards as specified in the contract, that the government is making its payments to the private sector partner on time and in the stated manner with no Deviations, and that risk is being allocated and mitigated appropriately as modelled.
