Performance Standard 5 - Strategic Assistance and Reporting (PS5)

The Service Provider is required to co-operate with the Authority in its efforts to meet the requirements of Best Value, the Comprehensive Performance Assessment and for producing the Local Transport Plan.  These requirements focus on 'Strategic Assistance and Reporting' and the strategic assistance and reporting obligations on the Service Provider are set out in the Output Specification.  In summary, these cover the following:

[Authority to insert details as appropriate to cover their specific requirements]

The Service Provider's performance shall be measured on its ability to produce and deliver specific information and reports in accordance with the timetable set out in the Output Specification.

There are deductions for not providing the assistance and reports in accordance with the Output Specification [and Method Statement • - Strategic Assistance and Reporting]. These are based on a monetary value dependent on the importance of the information to the Authority and the impact not receiving the information has on the Authority's ability to meet its obligations.

Where the Service Provider continues to fail to meet its performance obligations the adjustments will be doubled for each additional month of failure until the required information or the required task is completed.
