It assures an informed approach as to how to accelerate the remediation, safely (both improving relationships and retaining appropriate contractual protections), but also providing specific technical, contractual and relationship management support to optimise the relationship for it’s lifecycle.

Key contents of the Performance Assurance Review

We review what your contracted expectations were along with expectations that it would have been reasonable (implied) for your supplier to have provided.
Identify the root cause of the issues
This will provide guidance on who is responsible for each issue; not to allocate blame, but to facilitate acceleration of performance improvements and prevent future issues.
Identify ‘enablers and disablers’
A focus on key issues/events/people that are likely to speed up (enable) performance improvement or slow down (disable) accelerated remediation of the issues.

Review any contract terms or schedules that will assist in getting performance improved quickly, or may potentially detract from it.
