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.
