ABSTRACT
The previous two chapters have discussed the initial steps to be taken in setting up a
PPP; the next two chapters go on to consider the organizational and resourcing issues
which also need to be addressed at the outset. While these issues are generically
similar for all types of partnership their specific application will depend on the precise
nature of each PPP. For example statutory based partnerships will have many of its
operational requirements set out in the relevant legislation (for example the role of the
local police commander in a Crime and Community Safety Partnership is specified);
for other types of PPP however there is much greater freedom in how they are
organized. The partners in a commercially based partnership will, for example, agree
on the appropriate organizational structure as part of the contracting process.
