Setting Customer Service Standards (the
EO), HHS again plans to systematically
survey its grant recipients and
contractors to compile their evaluations
of the Department’s grants and
procurement processes, and to improve
the way we conduct business with
them.
These voluntary surveys will continue
to be a collaborative effort, with OAMP
and OG providing leadership, oversight,
and a methodology; and the HHS
Operating Divisions (OPDIVs)
conducting the surveys for their own
operations. Each OPDIV will conduct
web-based surveys of its partners to
obtain feedback for improving business
processes. The grant recipients and
contractors to be surveyed are
sufficiently familiar with the
Department and its OPDIVs to make this
feedback extremely useful. These
surveys will give OAMP, OG, and each
of the OPDIVs an opportunity to
understand and evaluate grant and
procurement quality standards, as well
as to incorporate best industry or public
sector standards into OPDIV practices.
