Contractor to determine whether the work to be performed under the Agreement has in fact been accomplished to Aviation Authority’s satisfaction and/or completed in a timely manner.

c. The Aviation Authority is implementing a structured vendor performance management process to support continuous improvement, accountability, and strong supplier relationships. The Aviation Authority has partnered with

Procurated to utilize its vendor performance management platform, Canary, a tool designed to collect meaningful feedback, improve supplier performance, and enhance customer satisfaction.

Performance evaluations may be conducted quarterly, annually, or as needed, based on contract duration, scope of work, and operational requirements.

d. Supplier performance may be evaluated across multiple categories (Customer

Service, Pricing and Value, Quality of Goods or Services, Timeliness and

Responsiveness).

e. The Aviation Authority may consider a Respondent’s past performance, including references and any available performance ratings or feedback from other agencies, including those reflected in vendor performance management platforms such as Canary in determining future contracting opportunities, contract renewals, amendments, extensions, and overall supplier relationship management. The Aviation Authority will use performance feedback to:

o Identify strengths and opportunities for improvement o Address performance concerns during business review meetings o Initiate corrective action discussions when immediate or material performance issues arise

Supplier Registration Requirement:

a. As a condition of award, the Contractor shall be required to register for and maintain an active account in the Aviation Authority’s designated vendor performance management platform, Procurated’s Canary platform, for the duration of the performance period.

It allows you to easily request feedback from the people who use your products and services every day. These insights give you a clear view of your performance, while also helping you showcase your strengths to current and future customers. Please note that the information and data uploaded to

Canary may be subject to Florida’s public records laws.
