Managing contractor performance consistently starts with giving users the right tools—and a shared way to use them.
In June 2026, the United Nations Global Service Centre ( ) Field Contract Management (FCM) team introduced a structured quarterly training programme for users of the Instant Feedback System (IFS) and the Contractor Performance Reporting Tool (CPRT), two web-based tools that support contractor performance monitoring, compliance, data collection and reporting.
During its first quarter, the programme reached 250 participants from 21 United Nations entities, replacing reactive, request-driven sessions with a predictable and standardized approach to training.
The new model provides a more consistent learning experience across stakeholders while reducing the effort required to organize and deliver individual sessions. By helping users access the same guidance and use the same tools, it supports more effective contract performance management across the Organization.
