No Agreed Metrics Rationale
The decision not to establish KPIs for this contract is justified on the basis that it is a one-off delivery requirement and the estimated contract value is below the £5 million threshold, and therefore the implementation of formal KPIs would not provide proportionate value or oversight benefits. Contract performance will instead be monitored through the successful delivery and acceptance of the contractual deliverables.
