Outcome-Based (aka Performance-Based) outsourcing is a buying strategy where award of a contract is focussed on a Service Provider’s (SP) resource plan and process to achieve outcomes/results of competitive value (e.g. cost savings and enhanced customer satisfaction) for the Service Buyer (SB). This is opposed to Prescriptive-Based outsourcing where SB specifies resources and processes, leading to undifferentiated bids and lowest bid award.
Singapore’s public sector move towards Outcome-Based (OB) purchasing was first announced in Parliament in 2016. OB procurement has since been rolled out in three key sub-sectors of Facilities Management (FM) viz. Cleaning, Landscaping and Security.
The 2018 Real Estate Industry Transformation Map for FM was ‘Change to Enhance Service Delivery and Uplift the Industry.’ SPs identified two challenges to do so viz. ‘Building owners rely on headcount-based procurement practices and offer short contracts that do not reward innovation and quality FM service’, and ‘Lack of authoritative standards to guide FM service delivery’.
OB FM Service Procurement will help resolve the challenges identified. Such tenders require SB to specify required FM standards and corresponding objective/measurable service outcomes to facilitate service performance evaluation; SPs propose work plan, processes and resources to achieve the outcomes which are submitted with their tender. OB contracts are generally also of longer duration with incentives to motivate enhanced performance beyond the specified outcomes. A small number of enlightened SBs have started the OB procurement journey, adoption on a wider scale is needed to realise the FM transformation journey.
The Master Class will adopt a ‘Back to Basics’ approach to allow SB and SP to fully comprehend the often conflicting multi-faceted organisational-user-technical-cost parameters involved in analysing and determining an optimised facilities maintenance strategy and implementation plan. A knowledge sharing, round table and hands-on training pedagogy will be adopted underpinned by the framework shown below to facilitate participant’s development of a bespoke facilities maintenance needs and outcome requirements to guide SB service procurement, work execution and SP performance monitoring.
