Briefing Session on Policy and Implementing Guideline for Performance Based Contract (PBC)

The Policy Briefing and Performance Based Contract Guidelines (PBC) in Government Procurement, held last 22^nd March 2023 by the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and supported by Technology Depository Agency (TDA), was a successful event with around 200 attendees from various government agencies. The event featured informative sessions from Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) and Royal Malaysian Air Force (TUDM), who have successfully implemented PBC procurement with TDA in the past.

The briefing’s primary objective was to communicate the intentions, needs and importance of implementing PBC in government procurement. The event provided attendees with a platform to share their perspectives, inputs, and challenges related to PBC implementation, resulting in significant engagement and impact.

Moving forward, the TDA aims to leverage this briefing’s success to encourage other government ministries and agencies to participate in implementing PBC in their respective procurements. As the PBC Center of Reference (PBC CoR), TDA is confident that it can serve as a valuable resource for other agencies, providing guidance and support to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of government procurement.

Overall, the Policy Briefing and Performance Based Contract Guidelines (PBC) in Government Procurement is an essential step towards improving procurement practices across the government. By implementing PBC, the government can ensure that it procures goods and services in the most cost-effective and efficient manner, ultimately leading to better outcomes for the public.
