520 _aThis report is based on visits to 50 firms and organisations, and includes 25 case studies which illustrate the advantages and problems associated with the various forms of target and cost-reimbursable contract. Seperate consideration is given to: when to use cost-reimbursable contracts; methods of introducing competition at the tendering stage; targets and incentives for cost, time and quality; and the implications of their use. The establishment of a joint planning team is recommended and the merits of open-book accounting emphasised, particularly in relation to work for publicly-accountable clients. Formerly report 56.
