Overview
The guidance documents are intended to provide technical guidance and help with interpretation and understanding of the Procurement Act 2023.
The guidance documents should be read in conjunction with the Procurement Act 2023 and its associated regulations and are aimed at procurement practitioners and commercial policy leads in contracting authorities. They are intended to provide technical guidance and help with interpretation and understanding of the Procurement Act 2023.
A key performance indicator (KPI) is defined in the Procurement Act 2023 (Act) as a factor or measure against which a supplier’s performance of a contract can be assessed during the life-cycle of the contract (section 52(1)).
By setting targets for the desired level of performance against KPIs, a contracting authority can measure and demonstrate a supplier’s progress against those targets. Where KPIs apply, they will be set out in the contract between the contracting authority and the supplier.
