Contractual Governance: A Social Learning Perspective

Abstract

This chapter focuses on contractual relationships between public authorities and other state or independent sector bodies, taking the UK National Health Service (NHS) as the main case study. The governance issues posed by contractualization in fields such as health and social care differ from those arising in traditional public procurement or in the outsourcing of ancillary services such as cleaning and buildings maintenance.
