The PPP contract has provided vital lessons learnt in order to better manage technology services going forward • The PPP contract has highlighted a number of key lessons for future contracts: • Governance structures agreed upon should be made functional by management and not left to collapse • The contractors cannot be left to manage themselves. Skilled internal capacity should always be established to manage the contract delivery (project management, business analysis, service level management, etc.) • Need to put in place clear contracting principles – particularly principles related to critical aspects such as financial management.
