Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 2: Patrick Tay on outcome-based security contracting
Cheap sourcing of private security often leads to poor outcomes and low productivity. For example, officers are tasked to man CCTV screens and manually record vehicle licence plate numbers despite the availability of affordable technology for such tasks, said MP Patrick Tay. Speaking in Parliament on Thursday (Mar 3), he urged the Government to implement measures to guide buyers of private security towards an outcome-based contracting model.
