Use of performance-based contracts for road maintenance projects: a rapid evidence assessment

The authors of this paper, Use of performance-based contracts for road maintenance projects: a rapid evidence assessment, synthesize evidence from evaluations on the impact of performance-based contracts for road maintenance projects on cost savings, road quality, collaboration and direct user benefits. They also provide insights into the implementation, sustainability, and evaluation of these interventions, as well as a risk of bias assessment for each study. This work can help policymakers and practitioners determine the expected outcomes of their interventions and identify key barriers and facilitators of impact.
