Document type

Justification for not setting key performance indicators

KPIs have not been established for this contract due to the highly specialised and clinically governed nature of inherited genetic testing, where performance is monitored through clinical standards rather than procurement metrics. The service is delivered by a limited number of expert providers, making standardised KPIs difficult to apply meaningfully. Additionally, the contract was developed in response to a specific clinical need, and procurement involvement was limited during specification, resulting in no formal KPIs being agreed at award stage
