Performance agreements define executive accountability for specific organizational goals, help executives align daily operations, and clarify how work unit activities contribute to the agency's goals and objectives.
It is a formal agreement that outlines the performance expectations and obligations that an employer (or client) has of an employee (or contractor). It outlines all the specific, achievable goals and provides a framework to monitor and evaluate success.
To be effective, a performance contract template should include: Detailed service description: Specific tasks, deliverables, timelines, and responsibilities. Objective performance criteria: Measurable standards like KPIs, quality benchmarks, and deadlines.
Experts assert that a well-drafted RFP document should include: The purpose of the RFP. A clear description of project goals and results. A rubric or criteria that will be used to evaluate submitted proposals.
Steps in the RFP Process Develop a draft RFP and timeline. Create a bidders list. Approve RFP by Contract Unit and Legal Counsel. Advertise in the Contract Reporter. Release the RFP. Develop the evaluation methodology. Establish the evaluation committee. Receive Proposals.
