Management Services

Improving efficiency
A public partner commissions BWI AG to manage an existing water utility company within the framework of a management contract. Berlinwasser International’s experts then support that company, both with respect to specific tasks and day-to-day operations.

Role Allocation
Berlinwasser International has gained a reputation as a competent player in the area of international management models. This is primarily due to the extensive skills and knowledge of the specialists of Berlinwasser International.

The public partner retains its role as the primary service provider to the population.

The public partner is responsible for financing investments aimed at expanding or improving and rehabilitating the existing system. However, such investments are frequently – entirely or partly – refinanced by the World Bank or by regional development banks.

Term
Contracts of this nature usually have a term of three to five years.

Advantages
The advantages of this concept are the relatively high potential it offers for improving performance and increasing efficiency through the transfer of technology and the acquisition of technological and operations management skills.

Payment
The public partner pays a pre-specified fee which is usually composed of a basic fee component and a success-based component.
