This is done by prompting ten issues within four objectives and highlighting their relevance and potential interrelatedness in efective contract management.  In contrast to prevalent piecemeal and theoretically one-dimensional approaches, the objectives and issues constitute a holistiv framework that advancesa comprehensive and pragmatic understanding of contracting processes.  We hope that the framework merits further in-depth exploration that nmay generate new insights, themes and questions for research in public service contracting.  We identify and exemplify the framework by combining insights fronm different theoretical perspectives with empirical evidence through an iterative process.  The evidence is educed as a set of observed and self-reported stories in a cross-national sample of 15 cases of contracting-out in urbangreen-space management. - Reproduced.  aPublic utilities  aBogetoft, Peter  aPublic Administration
