Client Services Improving Contracting Practices

HHSC is working to identify contracting concerns and develop solutions to make it easier to contract with all Health and Human Service agencies and to standardize reporting across all our departments.

Here's how you can help

1. Some concerns have already been identified. We'd like your recommendations and comments on these issues.
      
   • Current Contracting Concerns
   • Submit Comments
        
2. We have also provided a list of existing program contracts. We would like for you to review these programs and submit comments and suggestions for improvements.
   
   • 212 HHS Contract Program Summaries for Review
   • Submit Comments
     
3. Topics under Development: The following topics will be highlighted for comment beginning April 16, 2004:
   • Definition of Capital Asset - Dollar Thresholds and Reporting
   • Prior Approval of Purchases of computers and capital equipment
   • Standardization of contract amendments
   • Definition of equipment and capital equipment
   • Indirect Cost
