Notice Title
ID 2342618 DfE TNI - Advertising and Marketing Services
Notice Description
Following a competition advertised in the Official Journal of the EU on 29/09/2019 the Department for the Economy Tourism NI entered into a contract for the supply and delivery of its marketing and associated services, but due to the impact of Covid-19 the level of support required by the tourism industry has been unprecedented and unforeseen at the time of securing the contract. This contract has 8 months remaining on the initial contract period, with 3 x 12 month options to extend. Therefore, Tourism NI requires a variation to the value of the contract to avoid an imminent change in supplier which would incur substantial inconvenience/duplication of cost, and to ensure continuity of service to cover until 16/02/2024. This will allow sufficient time to retender the contract. Tourism NI wishes to increase the value of the contract by PS10,500,000 ex VAT (50% of the original contract value), to cover requirements until 16/02/2024. Tourism NI is relying on the Regulation 72(1)(c) provision as the need for change could not have been foreseen by a "diligent" Department, the changes do not affect the overall nature of the contract or exceed 50% of the value of the original contract value. Covid-19 could not have been predicted; therefore, these increased requirements could not have been foreseen or accounted for when estimating the contract value at the time of tender. The services provided through the contract will remain in line with those specified at the time of going to tender. The proposed change to the estimated contract value does not exceed this threshold.

"description": "The successful contractor's performance on the contract will be regularly monitored in line with PGN 01/12. 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 Certificate of Unsatisfactory Performance and the contract may be terminated. The issue of a Certificate 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 twelve months from the date of issue of the certificate.",
