Milestones and targets Clause Samples

The 'Milestones and targets' clause defines specific objectives and deadlines that a party must achieve during the course of a project or contract. It typically outlines key deliverables, performance benchmarks, or completion dates, and may include consequences for failing to meet these requirements, such as withholding payment or triggering corrective actions. This clause ensures that progress can be measured objectively and helps manage expectations by providing a clear framework for tracking and evaluating performance throughout the agreement.

Milestones and targets. This document reflects the institution’s own analysis of its performance against the targets and milestones that it set itself in its access agreement for 2010-11. OFFA considered it as part of our holistic consideration of the institution's progress against its access agreement; we also took into account the other information provided in the monitoring return, the institution's general performance on widening participation, and our knowledge of its access agreement and previous monitoring rounds. For further information about monitoring performance against milestones and targets, please see part four of the report, Access agreement and widening participation strategic assessment monitoring: Outcomes for 2010-11. Table 1a): This shows statistical milestones/targets relating to the institution’s applicants, entrants or student body – e.g. those based on HESA, Ucas or similar data that the institution uses to measure the outcomes of its widening participation work. Table 1b): This shows other milestones and targets that the institution chose to include. These typically relate to outreach, lifelong learning, or institutional mission and targets. Table 2 sets out the HESA performance indicators for young entrants covering state school, social class (National Statistics Socio-economic Classification – NS-SEC) and low participation neighbourhoods (LPN). These are reproduced to provide a context for the institution’s overall performance. Please note that 2010-11 performance indicators are now also available; however, these had not been published at the time institutions were submitting their monitoring returns and are not presented here. For more information on HESA performance indicators, see ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇/▇▇. - comment on the level of progress made against their access agreement targets - set the figures in some context, for example, if there were any external factors which may have influenced them - provide explanations where they did not meet targets or where progress was less than anticipated.

Milestones and targets. The objectives of the Access Agreement are: 1. To further enhance our recruitment and retention of students with excellent potential from under-represented backgrounds. 2. To ensure the maintenance and development of a high quality environment and academic experience for students which recognises the challenges of disadvantage and enhances retention and achievement. Success can be measured in many ways, not all of them easily translated into simple performance indicators. Specifically however, we will be looking to: • Maintain the proportion of recruited students from low participation neighbourhoods. (HEFCE Performance Indicators) • Raise the proportion of recruited young, white working class men and black and minority ethnic students by at least two percentage points over the 5 year period (1% after 2 years). (HEFCE Performance Indicators and internal data) • Raise the number of recruited Care Leavers by 50% over the life of the Agreement. (Internal monitoring) • Bring Year 1 retention rates within benchmark over 5 years. (1% after 2 years) (HEFCE Performance Indicators) • Improve the retention of young men by 2% over 5 years (1% after 2 years) (Internal data) • Increase the recruitment of men into primary teacher training provision by 2% over 5 years. (1% after 2 years) (Internal data) • Ensure employability rates remain at least 1% above benchmark over the life of the agreement. (HEFCE Performance Indicators)

Milestones and targets. The introductory section to this document shows that Manchester Metropolitan University is an institution that already performs comfortably above a number of benchmarks that provide indicators of the extent to which its admissions and recruitment activities achieve good social inclusion. As other universities strive to improve their own inclusion performance in future, that could subject MMU to a major challenge - even to maintaining its current profile. Nonetheless, the University has determined that it will establish targets for its activities that will demonstrate its continuing commitment to the recruitment of an appropriately inclusive population of students. To ensure that the University’s objectives for access remain effective, it will monitor its performance and check progress against these targets, with some of the data on which these evaluations take place forming part of the information that the University returns regularly to government or funding bodies. For the University to be confident in tracking achievements against its targets and milestones, it needs to build up data sets that accurately represent key performance parameters. It also needs to establish the baselines from which progress will be measured. These intentions are reflected in some of the specific targets to be achieved during the period of this Agreement, namely: (i) Data on ethnic origin of students is critically dependent on willingness to self- ascribe. Typically, hitherto, the rate of return on such data has not been significantly better than 90%. The University’s target is to achieve not less than 95% return data on ethnic origin disclosure by 2007/08. (ii) Especially for those students in receipt of access bursaries the University will commit to improving progression rates (i.e. the proportion of enrolled students successfully progressing from one stage of study to the next). Specifically: 2006/07 Baseline progression rate 2007/08 Baseline plus 3% 2008/09 Baseline plus 5% 2009/10 Baseline plus 8% 2010/11 Maintain or improve. (iii) Especially for those students in receipt of access bursaries, the University will commit to improving retention rates. Specifically, using 2005/06 data as the baseline: 2006/07 Baseline plus 3% 2007/08 Baseline plus 5% 2008/09 Baseline plus 7% 2009/10 Baseline plus 9% 2010/11 Maintain or improve (iv) The University will commit to maintaining or improving recruitment from its outreach partners using 2006/07 as the baseline. (v) Using 2005/06 as ...
