Abstract:

The bankruptcy of a service provider is an operational risk faced by any firm outsourcing business functions. The firm with the lowest bid is not necessarily the firm with the least risk. This article focuses on developing a risk adjusted price comparison methodology for multiyear contracts. A risk adjustment methodology for counterparty risk is developed using market expectations of service provider default risk. The risk adjusted price enables a comparison of the expected contract price versus the nominal price.
