Section six. Complementary information
six.3) Additional information
Neither CPD nor the Northern Ireland Prison Service can provide any guarantee as to the. level of business under this contract. The. estimated contract values are broad estimates only; they include additional quantum for unforeseen demand and to future proof.. The estimates are not deemed to be a condition of contract nor a guarantee of minimum demand or uptake. No compensation will. be payable to a contractor should the actual demand be less than that. stated. Contract monitoring: the successful Contractor(s). performance on the contract will be regularly monitored. Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It. means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a Contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they. will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the. matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for. further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to. satisfactory. levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued. with a notice of written warning and notice of unsatisfactory performance, and this contract may be terminated. The issue of a notice of. written warning and notice of unsatisfactory performance will result in the Contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions. being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a. period of up to 3 years from the date of issue of the notice. The Authority expressly reserves the rights: (i) not to award any contract as. a result of the procurement process commenced by publication of this notice; (ii) to make whatever changes it may see fit to the content. and structure of the tendering competition; (iii) to award (a) contract(s) in respect of any part(s) of the services covered by this notice; and. (iv) to award contract(s) in stages. And under no circumstances will the Authority be liable for any costs incurred by Candidates.
