    1 agreed KPI: KPIs
    • KPIs, We will approach the supplier at least six weeks in advance of each event, and ten weeks for larger exhibitions. We will provide access to the event organiser’s information portal with details of the build-up and breakdown dates, access and hire of materials such as iPads and electrical power. We expect the stand build and materials to be of a good quality and the stand itself to uphold the reputation and professionalism of the NHS. The supplier should provide technical expertise and advice to the client and provide creative solutions to problems. We also expect: • Stands to be delivered on time and within event organiser’s deadlines. • Stand build to be of good quality and consideration would need to be given of any potential health and safety risks and accessibility of the stands for delegates with a disability. • Reasonable support with any issues identified by event organisers during the event (electrics, WiFi) due to the stand build. • Regular contact to be maintained with NHS Health Careers team from initial contact to breakdown. Responses to briefs within two weeks. The stand builder would have a professional approach and be responsive to requests while working on each project (event). Any problems encountered (e.g. a delay to the delivery of materials, unexpected costs, electrical issues) to be communicated with NHS Health Careers as soon as possible.
