We have begun issuing the Contract Compliance Verification Form which includes a checklist that identifies key performance indicators considered essential to the legal fulfillment of the agreement. Upon receipt from the Contract Office, the form should be completed by the designated department person (who will manage the contract) and returned to the Contracts’ Office by the date indicated on the form. PLEASE NOTE: Contract monitoring is necessary to ensure compliance with best practices in contract administration and with precedents established by recent Texas A&M University System Internal Audit reports.

The Vendor/Contractor Performance Evaluation Worksheet is designed to provide departmental end users with a tool to evaluate the performance of vendors who do business with Prairie View A&M University. HOW ? • Acknowledge excellent vendors • Recognize poor performance • Resolve problems • Remove poor quality vendors (suspension) To accomplish this goal, we need your input. Use the performance evaluation to let us know about vendors who exceed your expectations, and to also document instances of poor vendor performance. Vendors receiving an overall unsatisfactory rating will be informed of the rating and they will be provided a reasonable opportunity to respond and the department will be informed of the resolution.
