Abstract
Modern public services are characterised by inter-organisational relationships, multi-actor
policy making, and coproduction. These are also aspects of service supply chain management,
but there are specificities. The aim of this conceptual paper is to develop propositions based on
existing research to further the knowledge in the intersection of (service) supply chain
management and public management. The four propositions relate to: the structure of public
service provision; for whom public services are provided; what is it that flows through the
public service supply chain; and the role of coordination as a component of management in the
public service supply chain
