The government party's reporting requirements need to be articulated in the request for proposal and draft project deed provided to bidders during the procurement phase and set in the executed project deed. The reporting requirements necessary to enable 'broader' performance monitoring (beyond that necessary to approve service payments) should have regard to the matters that are to be monitored, as set out in step 2. These reporting requirements should be captured in the contract management plan and detailed in the contract administration manual.
While additional reporting may be negotiated during the service delivery phase, this can take significant time and effort.
