  6. Survey Respondents by Type of Government

  7. Study Disclaimers • Exploratory study • Not a random sample • Low response rate • Not all respondents answered all • questions • Some respondents appeared to have • problems with Survey Monkey

  8. What is Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) for Services? • Federal Approach (Federal Acquisition Regulation) • Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) • SEA Reporting Approach • The Composite Approach • A Mixed Approach • A Different Approach

  9. What is Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) for Services? Federal Approach The purpose of PBC for services is to: “ensure that required performance quality levels are achieved and that total payment is related to the degree that services performed or outcomes achieved meet contract standards.” FAR Sub Part 37.601 - General

  10. What is Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) for Services? GASB SEA Approach • Output (the quantity of service provided) • Quality (the quantity of service provided that meets a quality standard) • Outcome (the results, accomplishments or impacts of service provision) • Any combination (output, quality, outcome)

  11. What is Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) for Services? The Composite Approach “A performance-based contract is one that focuses on the outputs, quality and outcomes of service provision and may tie at least a portion of a contractor’s payment as well as any contract extensions to their accomplishment .” Source: L. L. Martin & J. R. Miller (2006). Contracting for Public Sector Services. Herndon, VA: National Institute of Governmental Purchasing

  12. What is Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) for Services? A Mixed Approach • One that encompasses some or all of the elements • of the previous three approaches. Another Approach • One that is different from all the others.

  27. Study Findings N = 412

  28. Study Findings Future Use of PBC by Region

  29. Major Conclusions PBC for services continues to be an underutilized procurement strategy Reasons for Underutilization - Lack of trained procurement staff - Lack of understanding of PBC on the part of key decision makers - Lack of understanding of PBC on the part of contractors

  30. Major Conclusions No general approach to PBC for services - PBC is more of an umbrella term - A mixed approach is most common - The GASB approach is used the least 4 . PBC service contracts frequently tie payments to performance, but not to contract renewals or new contracts

  31. Major Conclusions Milestone contracting is the most common form of linking compensation to performance A majority (60%) of governments use financial penalties 7. The future use of PBC for services is unclear: - More use (50.5%) - About the same (49.3%)
