		+	[https://theiam.org/knowledge-library/asset-management-an-anatomy/ Asset Management – an anatomy, Version 4], published by The Institute of Asset Management in July 2024, defines performance as a : ‘measurable result. Notes: (1) Performance can relate either to quantitative or qualitative findings. (2) Performance can relate to managing activities, processes, products, services, systems or organizations. (3) For the purposes of asset management, performance can relate to assets in their ability to fulfil requirements or objectives. (4) This constitutes one of the common terms and core definitions for ISO management system standards given in Annex SL of the Consolidated ISO Supplement to the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. It has been modified by the addition of Note 3 to entry.’

KPIs may be of particular importance where the contract stipulates that the contractor will be rewarded or penalised based on their performance relative to certain indicators.
