Contract inspecting of outsourced service: challenges for public universities

Description

Abstract

Contract inspecting in public management, though essential for the functioning operation of projects and programs, have not been given the same care and support other bidding procedures have. The contract inspectors are not an organically-structured group, and this hinders the utilization of conventional training. The role of contract inspectors in public universities requires heterogeneous skills and knowledge, including thorough knowledge of legislation and operational practices of maintaining efficient management policies that satisfy the public interest.
