Public sector and PNRR projects: ICT governance, contract execution, innovation
I support public bodies, special agencies and private partners in the governance of digital projects in Italy: defining requirements, coordinating suppliers, overseeing contract execution, monitoring timing, quality and indicators. I do this as an ICT Manager, as a contract execution director (DEC, Direttore dell’Esecuzione del Contratto) and as an innovation manager, including on projects funded by the PNRR, Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan under NextGenerationEU.

Frequently asked questions
Can't find your question? Write to me and I will answer.
What is the PNRR?
The PNRR is Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan, funded by the EU NextGenerationEU programme through the Recovery and Resilience Facility. It is organised in missions, components and investments, each with milestones and targets that must be met and documented. Public bodies and their contractors have specific monitoring and reporting duties.
What does a contract execution director (DEC) do?
Under Italian public procurement rules, the DEC (Direttore dell’Esecuzione del Contratto) checks that a contract is carried out as set out in the specifications and the offer: activities, timing, quality and documents. The DEC flags problems, writes minutes and certificates, and works with the RUP, the public body’s officer responsible for the procurement. In PNRR projects the DEC also oversees indicators, milestones and audit documentation.
Do you work for contractors as well as public bodies?
Yes, while avoiding conflicts of interest. I can support a public body in governing a project, or a company or consultancy that must deliver a public contract with adequate standards of quality, timing and reporting. I never take control and delivery roles on the same contract.
Do you have direct experience of PNRR projects?
Yes. Since 2025 I have been contract execution director for Polisemia Consulenza e Formazione on a project under Mission 1, Component 3, Investment 1.1.5 of the PNRR, dedicated to the digitisation of cultural heritage. I follow progress, compliance with the specifications, indicators and minutes.
Can you help a public body write the requirements for a portal?
Yes, it is part of my work as ICT Manager of Bari Welcome: I gather requirements from institutional stakeholders, define content architecture and workflows, coordinate suppliers and check accessibility, performance, security and the measurement of results. The same approach applies to platforms and digital services for other public bodies.
