Contract and supplier management
The council is committed to undertaking Contract and Supplier Management on its procurement activities and to formalise the council`s process of monitoring a Supplier`s performance against their contractual requirements.
Effective Contract and Supplier Management within the council will result in contract procedure and process improvements, as well as increasing the procurement function knowledge and experience which can then be used to benefit future contracts.
South Ayrshire Council's Standard Key Performance Indicators
During the lifetime of a contract, the Council shall monitor and measure Supplier performance against South Ayrshire Council's Standard Key Performance Indicators (KPI`s).
South Ayrshire Council's Standard Key Performance Indicators will apply to all council contracts and will be included within all published tender documentation to ensure Suppliers are aware of the process prior to submitting a bid.
Balanced scorecards and contract and supplier management meetings
The level of Contract and Supplier Management applied to each contract is dependent on the overall risk level of the contract. There are three levels of contract risk detailed below:
| Strategic |
|
| Operational |
|
| Transactional |
|
Suppliers are required to achieve a minimum overall score of 75 - Meeting Expectations against South Ayrshire Councils Standard Key Performance Indicators. Where the Supplier fails to achieve this score they may be required to attend a Contract and Supplier Management Meeting to discuss the contracts.
