Justification for not setting key performance indicators
The materials can only be procured via Hardscape who are the only supplier who can access the granite from China. Previous phases of the project have sourced the same material and it cannot be sourced elsewhere. Due to the sourcing from China the Council and supplier in this county do not have any control over delivery of the materials and it would therefore be unfair to put KPIs in place
