Scientific and Technical Report No. 24
Performance-Based Contracts (PBC) for Improving Utilities Efficiency: Experiences and Perspectives is a compendium of articles written by members of the PBC taskforce. It focuses on new approaches without delegated management to private operators i.e. service contracts, consulting contracts, Alliance approach, public-private partnerships (PPPs). It also mentions new design and generation of more traditional PPPs (management, lease, concession), where a larger proportion of performance-based design is being applied.
