From April 2025 to July 2025, under-performance is now marginal and the KPI has been met in-full for June and July 2025. The Contracting Authority has assessed this to be acceptable. For the other aspects of the key criteria, the Contracting Authority adopted a standardised scoring matrix. This consisted of assessing the information from the review of service against the requirements listed within the statutory guidance for the Provider Selection Regime.
