Performance-Based Contracting for Cities & Counties

Implement Performance Measurements for Your Contracts
Performance-based contracting is focused on the cutting-edge, seven-step process of contract management and administration. One of the most important challenges facing city and county agencies is the need for widespread adoption of performance-based acquisition in order to survive the budget strains that affect almost all municipalities. It can be very difficult for a city or county to fully implement performance-based contracting into their acquisition plan.

Best Practice Procurement Models
Attend a comprehensive walk through of each of the seven steps of performance-based acquisition and learn how to implement these steps into your agency’s acquisition plans. Topics that will be discussed include the development of a performance work statement (PWS) or statements of objectives (SOO), learn how to select the right contractor and decide how to measure and manage performance. Also, obtain best practices and case scenarios of actual cities and counties that have implemented performance-based contracting to efficiently manage their contracts and vendor relationships.

Maximize Limited Municipal Resources through Effective Contract Management!
