Abstract
As real estate outsourcing becomes more entrenched in the operating procedures of large enterprise, the governance of large outsourcing contracts takes on greater importance. Outsourcing governance can become the key to fortifying linkages between client and service provider, ensuring best practices are continually integrated and delivery of core services is systematised in a way that maximises operational efficiency. This paper explores the evolving nature of outsourcing of public sector real estate management through anecdotes gleaned from a contract between a large public service entity and a global outsourcing provider.
