NPR 5333 Output-Based Contracting Toolkit + Expert Review Session

The toolkit gives you every document you need to move an agile supplier from time and materials to an output-based contract. The expert review session helps you make the choices that are specific to your organisation, before you go to market. Those choices decide whether the model works in practice.

What you get

• The complete toolkit (6 editable files, Word and Excel), available for download immediately after purchase:

  • Call for Dialogue (Marktverkenning)

  • Request for Information (RFI)

  • Request for Proposal (RFP)

  • Evaluation Scoring Template (Excel)

  • Evaluation Scoring Instructions

  • Master Services Agreement with 9 annexes

• A 2-hour online session with Harold van Heeringen, scheduled at a time that suits you. After your purchase we'll contact you within 2 working days to plan it.

What we cover in the session

We work through your own situation and the key settings in the templates:

• Your starting point: your current contracts, suppliers and portfolio, and which documents in the set you actually need.

• The procurement route: market consultation or straight to tender, and how to set the award criteria and weighting.

• The contract parameters: which metrics to use, how much of the fee to put at risk under the quality gate, and how to set the gain/pain share. Also who does the function point counting and how it is audited.

• The baseline: how to establish a fair reference point, including when you have no historical function point data yet.

• Realistic price levels: what a sensible price per function point looks like for your type of work, based on ISBSG benchmark data.

Send us your current contract or a short description of your situation beforehand, and the session goes straight to your real questions. You'll receive a short written summary of the agreed choices afterwards.

Who it is for

Organisations that want to start with the toolkit but don't want to get the critical choices wrong. It suits procurement and contract managers, CIOs, IT sourcing leads and supplier managers.

We also offer guided implementation, from baseline measurement to a signed contract. If you hire us within 3 months, the price of this package is deducted. Get in touch
