    "description": "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. 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 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 3 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 authority expressly. reserves. the rights:. . (i) not to award any contract as a result of the procurement process commenced by publication of this notice;. ..
