Assessment guidelines
The objectives of performance evaluation and reporting are to:

 encourage those with whom Council does business to implement a culture of continuous
improvement to benefit themselves and their clients;

 provide Council with performance data from past and current engagements to identify the best
performing and value for money suppliers and consultants;

 to manage risk and inform future procurement decision making.

1. Informing suppliers/consultants
Suppliers/consultants should be informed about Council’s performance reporting system prior to or at
the first project/contract meeting. This includes providing the supplier/consultant with a copy of the
template performance report.

As a default, Council purchase orders will contain the following statement:

‘Council suppliers including but not limited to contractors and consultants may be subject to
performance reporting. A copy of the performance report template is available on Council’s
website at www.rouswater.nsw.gov.au by clicking on the quick link button ‘Doing business with
us’.

Council’s template Engagement Agreement also refers to performance reporting.

2. Performance scoring methodology


This is provided to enable suppliers/consultants to understand the influence of gradings on overall
performance scores including the potential to influence ranking (see below).

The Reporting Officer is not required to calculate scores.

Completed performance reports include assessed criteria from which a performance score is
generated. The score is calculated as set out:

Definition and relative weighting of gradings


Grading Definition Rating*
Superior Standard well above the acceptable standard of performance 10
Good Standard often exceeds the acceptable standard of performance 7
Acceptable Meets the acceptable standard of performance 5
Marginal Mostly meets the acceptable standard of performance but has some 3
weakness.
Unsatisfactory Well below the acceptable standard of performance 0

The performance score for a report on a supplier/consultant on a contract is based on the weighted
ratings from the report.

Page 10 of 45
Performance report: supply/service/capital works/consultancy

Example 1: Weighted performance report – supplier


Evaluation Criteria Weight Grading Rating Weighted Max.
(a) (b) Rating possible
(a) x (b) weighted
rating
(a) x 10
Time mgmt 5 Good 7 35 50
Standard of work 5 Acceptable 5 25 50
Quality mgmt systems 2 Acceptable 5 10 20
Contractor’s personnel 3 Good 7 21 30
Subcontractor mgmt 3 Good 7 21 30
Contract administration 3 Good 7 21 30
Co-operative relations 3 Good 7 21 30
Work health and safety 5 Acceptable 5 25 50
Industrial relations 3 Good 7 21 30
Environmental mgmt 4 Good 7 28 40
Training management 3 Good 7 21 30
Contractor’s design 3 Good 7 21 30
Aboriginal participation 5 Good 7 35 50
Totals 305 470
(c) (d)

Score = 100 x (c)/(d) = 100 x (305/470) = 64.9%

The final score is based on the average of all performance reports for a contract (where there is more
than one). The ‘completion’ report is given additional importance and this is reflected by being
considered as equivalent to 2 reports for the same contract.

Example 2
Demonstrating the overall scoring of a consultant:

 First (interim) Performance Report = 55%,


 Second (interim) Performance Report = 55%,
 Third (interim) Performance Report = 60%,
 Completion Performance Report = 65%

Score for whole project = (55 + 55 + 60 + 65 x 2) / 5 = 60%

Totals 50 80

Performance score = 100 x (50/80) = 62.5 %

Performance ranking
Reports which are within two (2) years of the specified reporting period are considered for ranking
purposes.

3. Industry data
Apart from being an instrument for maintaining supplier/consultant performance data, the performance
reporting process provides an opportunity for Council to monitor industry trends and related data.

Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander participation


Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander persons (and those person identifying as Aboriginal and/or
Torres Strait Islander) working more than 1 week (continuous or non-continuous) on an engagement
should be counted. The number of working-hours worked can be compared with the total number of
working-hours worked by all workers on the engagement to give a percentage of Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander participation. This information is useful for Council to measure the success of strategies
to encourage indigenous participation.

The percentage of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander participation does not directly affect the
performance report score. The information is used to assess performance against the
supplier/consultant’s tendered commitment.

Issues elevated
The number of issues elevated does not affect the performance report score. The information is
valuable to Council in maintaining a contemporary suite of contracts and contract management guides
and identifying any patterns in terms of issues.

Performance report: supply/service/capital works/consultancy

4. Steps for completing the performance report


Access and use of blank interim performance evaluation form/performance report
1. Use the latest version of this performance report form. Electronic copies are available on the
wiki.
2. All performance reports are to be completed electronically whenever possible. Otherwise, all
responses are to be legibly handwritten so as to minimise risk of misinterpretation of
comments.

Reporting Officer - responsibilities


3. Meet face to face with the supplier/consultant or their representative.
4. Welcome and encourage proactive communications by promoting the scheduling of meetings
to meet performance reporting requirements.
5. Discuss performance including each criteria item and the reasons for any differences in views
on performance.
6. Consult and attempt to reach an agreement on the rating of each criterion in a manner that
accurately reflects performance (preferably during a face-to-face meeting).
7. Grade the performance for each criterion:
 Tick boxes in N/A (not applicable) column of matrix when it is too early in the project to
assess Performance Evaluation Criteria, or, when the criteria do not apply to the specific
contract.
 Tick all applicable Performance Evaluation Criteria boxes. Nominate only one grading
against each evaluation criteria after taking into account matters beyond the
contractor/consultant or the contractor’s/consultant’s representative reasonable control.
8. Ensure that aspects of Unsatisfactory and Marginal performance are clearly described.
Aspects of Superior, Good and Acceptable performance are also to be noted especially when
any contentious issues are likely to arise. Comments must align with the ratings given for
each criterion.

Attachments
9. Use attachments to performance reports to clarify any key issues related to performance. For
example, text including extracts of relevant documents and correspondence.
10. Photos evidencing project status and work in progress.

Copy report to the supplier/consultant


11. The Reporting Officer is to provide a copy of the completed report to the supplier/consultant
for review.

Supplier/consultant disagreement with the performance report


12. If the contractor/consultant disagrees, they should within 21 days of the date of the report,
discuss any areas of concern with the Reporting Officer and try to resolve any disagreement
that arises regarding the performance report.
13. Following an unsuccessful attempt to resolve a disagreement, the contractor/consultant may
within a further 14 days, elect to escalate the matter to the Reporting Officer’s supervisor for
resolution. If the contractor/consultant makes such an election, the Reporting Officer must
notify their supervisor.

Reporting Officer’s supervisor - responsibilities


14. If the contractor/consultant disagrees with the performance report, the disagreement is to be
resolved by the performance report being referred to the Reporting Officer’s supervisor, with
written reasons for the disagreement.

Page 13 of 45
Performance report: supply/service/capital works/consultancy

15. The supervisor is required to meet with the supplier/consultant and the Reporting Officer to
consider the report and reasons, decide on the disagreement, recommend changes, if
necessary, to the report.
16. The disagreement is to be resolved at the earliest opportunity and preferably within 21
calendar days of the supplier’s/consultant’s contact with the supervisor.
17. Following the assessment of the matters raised by the contractor/consultant, the supervisor is
to determine the contractor’s/consultant’s performance.

Close out actions – post completion of report


18. Reporting Officer/Supervisor to ensure that completed performance report is placed on the
relevant project file.

5. Criteria assessment guidelines


These guidelines have been developed to enhance accuracy, consistency, clarity, objectivity and
transparency in the assessment process.

Do NOT mark up or submit these Assessment guidelines with a performance report.

Instructions for evaluation


Separate assessment and evaluation criteria apply for each of the following:
 Supply/Service; Capital works
 Consultant.
Only apply the criterion relevant for the type of engagement.

For each performance criterion:


 Consider whether performance during the reporting period was Acceptable based on the sub-
criteria shown in the following table. If a sub-criterion is not applicable, or does not apply during
the reporting period, do not take it into account in assessing whether performance is acceptable.
Mark ‘N/A’ in the Acceptable column.
 If performance was Acceptable for all sub-criteria, consider whether it met the criteria for a Good
grading.
 If so, consider whether a Superior grading applies.
 If performance during the reporting period did NOT meet all the requirements for an Acceptable
grading, it will be graded Marginal at best.
 Consider whether an Unsatisfactory grading is applicable, based on the sub-criteria shown.

Principles for evaluation


Note the following principles underlying the evaluation framework:
 Acceptable performance complies with contract requirements.
 For an Acceptable, Good or Superior gradings, EVERY ONE of the sub-criteria must be met.
 A Marginal or Unsatisfactory grading is given if ANY ONE of the sub-criteria applies.
