If a Supplier(s). fails to reach satisfactory levels of Call-Off contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If,. after the specified time, they. still fail to reach satisfactory levels of Call-Off contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior. management in construction and. procurement delivery (CPD) for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not. improve to satisfactory levels within. the specified period, this may be considered grounds for termination of the Suppliers Place on the. Framework Agreement at your. expense as provided for in the Conditions of Contract. In lieu of termination, CPD may issue a Notice. of Written Warning or a Notice of. Unsatisfactory Performance. A supplier in receipt of multiple Notices of Written Warning or a Notice. of Unsatisfactory Performance may,. in accordance with The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended), be excluded from future. public procurement competitions for. a period of up to three years.
