REPORT OF THE 4TH UCLG WORLD CONGRESS
Contractual governance of basic network services Organised by the Fonds d’Equipement Communcal, Morocco
Members of the panel were able to discuss the choice of service management and the procedure that is essential in analysing the local context and clarifying the role and responsibilities of each stakeholder through the contracting process. Regardless of the model chosen, participants highlighted the need to impose shared criteria on public demand instruments to guarantee transparency, efficiency and performance of the services delivered to populations. Once the method of management is implemented, it must be subject to steering evaluation whose effectiveness is determined by certain governance principles. Furthermore, the panel concluded with overall consensus that the negotiation and approval of contracts should be based on a multi-criteria analysis as a fundamental principle. If there are numerous elements to take into account in the negotiation of contracts, special attention should be given to four special areas: distribution of risks - risk should be assumed by those who are most able; the duration - to be analysed according to the nature of the contract and the importance of the investments; the distribution and schedule of work and execution; the setting of tariffs should be financially balanced by the contract.
