Abstract

Participatory contracting represents a philosophy in which the government attempts to involve outside entities in a form of partnership or coordinated effort with the goal either of reducing costs or improving performance; private industry seeks to increase profits and have greater control over the effort. This win-win scenario can thus appeal to all participants and makes administration of the contract more of a partnership effort for its success benefits all the participants.
