Performance-Based Contracting
Performance-Based Contracting is an agreement where payment is tied to the results or outcomes delivered rather than just the services provided. In this model, a contractor is incentivized to meet specific performance goals, such as quality, efficiency, or timeliness. This approach encourages accountability and ensures that resources are used effectively, as contractors are motivated to achieve the best possible results. It’s commonly used in various sectors, including government projects and service industries, to improve service delivery and ensure taxpayer money or organizational resources are spent wisely.
