Session overview
We explored data sharing practices and agreements in outcomes-based contracts. Together with a group of practitioners managing outcomes contracts, we discussed which terms of the contracts the community was willing to openly share and which terms should be kept in confidence. We deep dived into the enablers of data sharing and transparency. What terms of the contract enables a project manager to share data? Which data points can be shared? If there are no provisions in the contract regarding data sharing, what is the default position?
Materials
We encouraged our participants to have a look at the Open Contracting Partnership report 'Mythbusting confidentiality in public contracting'.
