Based in particular on the audits carried out by the Regional and Territorial Chambers of Accounts, the Court has examined the conditions under which local authorities and their groupings delegate the management of local public services to private companies.
The Court proposes a series of measures to ensure that the choice of management method for local public services is properly informed, that in the event of management being delegated to a private company there is an effective call for competition, that in-depth negotiations take place with candidate companies and that the relationship with the chosen delegatee company is balanced from the beginning to the end of the delegation contract.
