Which is a correctly defined acceptance criterion for the running cost of the outsourced service?
The acceptance criterion 'The annual increase to be less than half the rate of inflation' is precise and measurable, providing a clear standard against which the running cost of the outsourced service can be evaluated. This ensures predictability and control over cost increases. By contrast, options like 'Must be kept to a minimum,' 'Must be kept to a level acceptable to the Ministry of Food Hygiene,' and 'Subject to market conditions' are either too vague or dependent on external factors, making them difficult to measure and enforce effectively.
D. The annual increase to be less than half the rate of inflation.
