    "description": "Please note that information relating to contractors engaged by the Northern Ireland Department of Justice, and associated bodies, is not published in any publicly accessible forum or publication. This is to protect such contractors, whose security and safety could be threatened by dissident terrorist organisations still active in Northern Ireland if their details became known. This is consistent with Regulation 50(6)(a).. . The contract values listed are broad estimates only and include additional quantum for unforeseen demand and to future proof for additional potential. There is no guarantee of any level of business under this contract. The estimates are not deemed to be conditions of contract nor a guarantee of minimum demand or uptake. No compensation will be payable to a contractor should the actual demand be less than that stated. For avoidance of doubt, the total estimated values per Lot are as follows:. . Lot 1: PS900,000. Lot 2: PS3,250,000. Lot 3: PS1,750,000. . Spend on Lots 2 and 3 will be divided between the contractors depending on usage of the Primary and Secondary kits. . . The successful contractor's performance on this contract will be managed as per specification and regularly monitored. 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 Construction and Procurement Delivery 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 written warning and notice of unsatisfactory performance and this contract may be terminated. The issue of a notice of written warning and notice 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 up to 3 years from the date of issue of the notice.",

This is due to an insufficient number of suitable responses for Lot 1 to progress the testing phase of the tender competition. The extensive testing processes and award criteria have been designed to allow FSNI to identify the best performing extraction kit and compatible extraction kit. It is imperative that that there are a sufficient number of suitable tenders from Lot 1 progressing to the testing stage to allow FSNI to carry out a robust exercise to determine the best performing kits for casework extraction and secure value for money."
