12 Miss. Code. R. 9-14.5
All contracts for personal and professional services shall:
* be in writing,
* include a description of the services and deliverables to be provided,
* state the period of performance,
* list the price for the services, including any price adjustment allowed,
* include all clauses required for contracts in Appendix E, and
* include any additional clauses the Agency deems appropriate.
The contract terms shall reflect the personal and professional services solicited, the length of performance stated in the solicitation, the price as submitted by the contracting vendor and/or as described in the solicitation, any price adjustment allowed by the solicitation, and any other modifications which are allowed by the solicitation.
The description of services to be performed should be result-oriented, not procedure-oriented, and shall include any information necessary to ensure the service will meet the Agency's needs.
The description of services to be performed, the list of specifications or deliverables, and any other applicable contract terms shall be used as evaluation criteria when monitoring contract performance.
Insurance, performance bonds, or other security may be required for service contracts to protect the interest of the Agency. Any such requirements shall be set forth in the solicitation. Insurance, performance bonds, or other security should not be used as a substitute for a determination of offeror responsibility. Agencies may not specify a specific company or insurance agency from which required insurance, bonds, or other security should be purchased. If the requirement for insurance, bond, or other requirement is included in the solicitation document, it cannot be waived during the life of the contract.
