    "description": "The Contractor's performance on this Contract will be managed as per the specification and regularly monitored (see https://. www.finance-ni.gov.uk/publications/procurement-guidance-note-0112-contract-management-principles-and-procedures). 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 grounds for termination of the contract at the Contractors expense. In lieu of termination they may be issued with a Notice of Written Warning or a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance. 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 multiple Notice of Written Warning or 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. The value of spend under this contract is estimated to be in the range. of PS7.8-PS10 million. There is no guarantee of the volume of work required during the lifetime of the contract.
