A formal contract is needed to engage an external evaluator and a written agreement covering similar issues can also be used to document agreements about an internal evaluator.
Contracts should state clearly the purpose and questions of the evaluation, the agreed deliverables and timelines, the obligations of each party (in terms of services to be provided and ethical obligations, including confidentiality requirements), and processes for project management, including dispute resolution.
