Appropriation - Contract Management of Services Provided by Third Parties
This appropriation is limited to preparing for and managing contracts for the provision of services provided by third parties.
What we do
This output covers the contract management of services provided by third parties to Corrections.
Operating Content
It is important to ensure that Corrections is on track to obtain contractual outcomes by the end of a contract’s life. Outsourced contracts deliver operational service improvements and support Corrections’ strategic goals and direction. Monthly, quarterly and annual reviews/audits of contractors’ performance are key ways of measuring whether the contractors are delivering the contract outcomes sought by Corrections.
Reviews or audits provide a view on contractors’ performance against contract objectives, service outcomes and obligations or performance measures and key performance indicators.
