All DfID projects are subject to ongoing performance monitoring, which includes ensuring that suppliers deliver within the agreed terms of the contract. The level of monitoring applied is adjusted to meet the requirements of the project, with high value and high risk contracts being subject to more detailed risk analysis and rigorous performance review processes. Any contracted services through Office of Government Commerce Buying Solutions (OGCBS) are subject to the same monitoring processes as outlined above, with any significant areas of performance feedback provided to the relevant OGC category contact.
