It details the objectives of monitoring, including the methods, personnel responsible, and documentation processes for performance evaluation.

Performance is assessed against established standards and metrics, enabling rated evaluations from Exceptional to Unsatisfactory. Surveillance methods include direct observation, periodic inspections, validated complaints, and random sampling to ensure adherence to standards. Ratings of performance will influence future contract evaluations and can affect contractor incentives.
