Measurement
How progress should be assessed
Measures indicate direction and implementation; they do not turn participation into certification.
What this programme is not
It does not certify the organisation or guarantee that buyer conditions will be met in every procurement.
Any live tender, certification, legal, financial or regulated-service requirement must be handled through the appropriate separately contracted professional route.
ACCORD control cycle
Every module passes through the same six stages.
Ask, clarify, close, operate, review and disseminate. A project can stop at any stage where evidence no longer supports proceeding.
