FAM-25-039 Attachment A: Activities-Outcomes Work Plan Template
This attachment is an instructional document and template provided by the Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) for use in response to solicitation FAM-25-039, which seeks proposals for Regional Post Permanency Consortia Services across five VDSS regions. The document establishes the performance measurement framework and reporting requirements that offerors must use to structure their proposed service delivery models. The template requires contractors to identify high-level outcomes, define key activities and initiatives, designate staff responsible for implementation, establish measurable outputs (process measures), articulate interim outcomes reflecting qualitative changes in participants, and specify evaluation methodologies combining both quantitative and qualitative outcome measures. The proposal submission deadline is July 17, 2026, with awards expected to establish up to five separate regional contracts with terms and conditions detailed in the primary RFP documentation and supporting attachments (A-Q).
The Activities-Outcomes Work Plan Template is designed to enable VDSS, legislators, funding sources, and communities to demonstrate program effectiveness and measure the impact of invested dollars on participant and community outcomes. Contractors must document how services will produce measurable changes in participant behavior, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and conditions through identified outputs and validated outcome measures such as surveys, interviews, rating scales, case plan goal attainment tracking, observations, and statistical analysis. The template emphasizes that performance measurement operates from "the end in mind," requiring offerors to articulate desired long-term social and health outcomes while demonstrating interim progress toward those goals through specific, measurable deliverables and evidence-based evaluation methods.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING ACTIVITIES/OUTCOMES FORM
Performance Measurement is a system for measuring the results of public programs. Performance measurement enables legislators, funding sources, and communities to know what impact the dollars have had i.e. what effect or change has resulted from dollars invested and how a person’s life or community has been changed.
Performance measurement starts with “the end in mind” e.g. what do you want to occur as a result of your service?
Performance measurement consists of:
High level outcomes: Desired results in social health or well-being. High level outcomes reflect the longer- term, global effects the program is intended to achieve. ( e.g. To reduce child abuse and neglect.)
Activities: List the key activities/initiatives proposed to achieve the goal(s) and objective(s) of the grant program.
Staff Responsible: Indicate the staff or organizations responsible for carrying out each activity/initiative.
Output: An output is a process measure which describes the conditions under which measurements will be made. This may refer to the timeframe and/or implementation of an activity/initiative, frequency, number of participants, etc. Process measures are activity focused and contribute to interim outcomes. They do not reflect qualitative outcomes. (e.g. the number of parents participating in parent education classes or the number of community presentations.)
Outcomes: Interim improvements in participant’s or community progress towards a high level outcome. Interim outcomes reflect a more immediate or direct effect the proposed project is intended to achieve. Outcomes typically address changes in participant performance/behavior that occur as a result of specific activities. They may include, but are not limited to a change or benefit in behavior, knowledge, skills, attitude, values, or condition.
Outcome Measures: Documents the condition of clients after a service has been provided (e.g. increased skills, modified behavior, improved condition). Outcome measures address qualitative outcomes.
Outcome measures can include research based instruments with demonstrated reliability and validity, statistics, interviews, observations, rating scales, surveys, focus groups, records, goal attainment, etc.
Performance measurement enables program directors and communities to measure program effectiveness and demonstrate both quantitative and qualitative results that contribute to a higher level social outcome.
Example:
Strategy Agency “x” will provide parenting classes for parents known to CPS Staff Responsible John Doe Output 6 weeks, 2 hour sessions for 10-12 participants, during the period of 6/01/07 – 7/15/08 Interim Outcome Parents will use redirection, positive reinforcement & praise to promote desired behavior Outcome Measure 80% of parents completing course will use redirection, praise and positive reinforcement as measured by “x” instrument.
