Service Standards
A service standard is a public commitment to a measureable level of performance that clients can expect under normal circumstances.
Service standards are an important element of service management excellence; they help to clarify expectations for those involved in the procurement of goods and services. They also enable performance management and support client satisfaction.
Service standards provide valuable information to managers to properly plan to acquire goods and services in support of programs and operations.
It should be noted that detailed service standards provided to Treasury Board on behalf of Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada, were recognized as a notable practice in this years (2014) UNAF assessment.
The service standards reflect the expected timelines once a quality procurement package is received taking into consideration that all required documents are adequately completed and submitted at the time of the initial request.
It should be noted that timelines do not include the time required to complete the security process or address Comprehensive Land Claim Agreements. Also, requests requiring to be processed within shortened timelines (i.e. urgent unpredictable requirements) directly impact on the processing of other requests. Taking these factors into account, the Department/Agency target has been set and monitored toward the achievement of meeting timelines on an combined/aggregated basis between 70% to 85% for all procurement requests received.
