13.1.1  Performance Monitoring System

The parties will agree upon a comprehensive Performance Monitoring System ("PMS") to monitor, on a timely and effective basis, whether the private party is delivering the Contracted Services to the Services Specifications. The methodology for the PMS will be fully set out in the project agreement.  The robustness of this system is an important source of comfort to government that the private party is meeting its obligations.42
