State Updates in Performance-Based Service
Contracting
Texas has begun a massive effort to promote the benefits of
competitive outsourcing and performance-based service contracting
(PBSC), particularly in this period of economic uncertainty for
state governments countrywide. These concepts have been embraced
because they will allow better service delivery for citizens,
increased business opportunities for citizens and state employees,
higher quality services at reduced cost and the chance to leverage
commercial best practices. Attend this session and hear updates
from existing projects as well as the future of competitive sourcing
and PBSC 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 Texas has made a concerted effort to switch from
costreimbursement contracts to fixed-price contracts that incorporate
performance measures. The next logical step is the transition
to a 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.
