The successful Contractor’s performance on this Contract will be managed as per the specification and regularly monitored (see . Procurement Guidance Note 01/12 - Contract Management - Procedures and Principles). Contractors not delivering on contract . requirements is a serious matter.

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 Unsatisfactory Performance and this Contract may be terminated. A central register . of such Notices for supplies and services contracts will be maintained and published on the CPD website. Any contractor in receipt of a . Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance will be required to declare this in future tender submissions for a period of three years from the . date of issue of the Notice. It may also 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.
