What is the service granting contract?
Ok, here is a version with more spark and less roll of AI:
The services concession contract, so, sounds like eternal paperwork and meetings with cold coffee, but it is basically an agreement where the public passes the ball to a private company to manage, say, transport, light, hospitals or even schools. And no, it is not for the love of art: the private one pays for that privilege and, in return, tries to get the business juice.
Now, eye: who accepts the contract (the concessionaire, goes) is seriously played. If the service gives less pasta than expected, then, bad luck, touches losses. But if there is luck and the thing goes well, they get the profit. So simple ... and so risky.
Ah, and if you arrived here by Google looking for how to catch one of these contracts, take note: "Public service contract", "concession contract" and "concession of services" are words that interest you to search info or strain in the radar of those looking for private partners.
The legal roll is not turkey mucus either. In Europe, for example, everything is quite tied with the 2014/23/EU Directive. Yes, another directive with more numbers than common sense, but there they explain how the process works, how the company is chosen and what transparency they demand (spoiler: quite).
Do you want to launch yourself for one of these contracts? Well there are a pair of useful hacks:
Fight to know what laws they touch you, because they change according to the country and even the city. Going blind here is like going fish without cane.
Make a risk analysis. Yes, it sounds like a expensive consultant, but not underestimate the brown that can leave. Better to prevent than cry later.
Currate the proposal. This is not just about putting a low price; You also have to show that you are not going to leave the service upside down. That is, it sells quality and price, the two things.
In summary: these contracts are an opportunity for companies that want to get into the major leagues of the public service, but it is not for anyone. You have to know of laws, have muscle to endure the risks and, above all, prepare the play well. If you dare, you may get round ... or you may end up cursing the day you signed. You will see.
