Author: 
Yi, Joon YoungㆍJung Yong Lee

This research aims to review two innovative commissioning models suggested by the Seoul Governance Group and come up with an appropriate commissioning model for delivering public policy of Seoul Metropolitan Government(SMG).

Two innovative models are based on Public-private cooperation and Social Impact Bond, respectively. The first model is ‘Commissioning model based on public-private cooperation’. The second model is ‘Commissioning model based on social impact bond’. This research reviews two models from theoretical and practical perspectives in order to check whether this model is appropriate to introduce to the SMG’s commissioning guideline. The review concludes that the first model is in line with the commissioning literature and the SMG is able to introduce this model without modifying related rules and regulations fundamentally.

In order to introduce the innovative commissioning model, two parties, i.e., SMG and civil society organizations have to has undertakings and establish reliable partnership based on trust and cooperation.

This research also suggests the ways to run pilot projects to innovate a commissioning model of SMG.
