Performance-Based Contracting
Government is now more results-oriented,
particularly in the way which government contracts are written.
One of the most important challenges facing agencies is
the need for widespread adoption of performance-based service
acquisition, but many acquisition personnel lack the necessary
skills to develop and implement performance-based contracts
(PBC). The seven-step process for developing performance-based
contracts simplifies the process and outlines the most efficient
way to achieve goals defined in the President's Management
Agenda. The process also provides new insight on defining
goals and improving transparency and accountability in government
contracting that will produce results.
 Key
Methodologies Covered
The performance-based contracting training
is based on writing a contract that focuses on performance
goals using the cutting-edge seven-step framework which
serves as a template for agency contracts. The Government
Performance Logic Model is applied to define contract goals
that will simplify the drafting of your Statement of Work
(SOW), Statement of Objective (SOO) and Performance Work
Statement (PWS).

State Updates in Performance-Based Service
Contracting
During this period of economic uncertainty, successful
utilization of performance-based service contracting
(PBSC) is a
particularly important component of Louisiana’s
government
agency activities. This concept has been embraced because
it
allows better service delivery for citizens, increased
business
opportunity and high quality services at reduced cost.
Attend
this session and hear updates from existing projects
as well as
the future of performance-based contracting at the statewide
level. Also, learn how to leverage cost information
to budget
planning for a more comprehensive approach to strategic
planning and performance-based contract management. |

Making the Transition to Performance-Based
Contracting
The State of Louisiana has made a concerted effort to
switch
from cost-reimbursement contracts to fixed-price contracts
that
incorporate performance measures. The next logical step
is the
transition to performance-based contracting model, which
will
actually define what the goals of the contract are,
as well as
provide for improved accountability and communication
among
all players in the contracting process. Listen to a
representative
from the Performance Institute discuss the important
next steps
for introducing this concept on a statewide level. |
