Consider monitoring and payment arrangements at the outset
- Be clear as to how payments to the successful tender are to be calculated once they have been awarded the contract, and make payments on time
- Estabish the monitoring procedures that are required to satisfy the Council that the service is being delivered in accordance with that specified
- Consider 'default' procedures, performance incentives and profit sharing
- Incorporate these processes within the tender documents, as they will provide the basis of the subsequent contract document.
