Title
KPI-01: Delivery Volume and Schedule Adherence
Description
Delivery of the required programme: 16 half day sessions per year (run twice a year across 8 topics) and delivered on the same day as the other half day IMG course (to create a full training day). Measured via a contract monitoring log: number of sessions delivered vs planned; check timetable alignment with the companion IMG course day. Measured quarterly and annually. There is 0% tolerance for provider-caused shortfall (i.e., all planned sessions must run unless cancellation is outside provider control). Formal performance notice; recovery plan required within 10 working days; persistent failure triggers contract review/performance meeting.

Audit of booking system logs/email timestamps and sampled delegate records per course. ≥95% compliance (i.e., up to 5% tolerance for exceptions).
