    "description": "The successful Contractor's performance will be managed as per the 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 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 Contractor's 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 Notices of Written Warning or Notices 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.",

Through this contract modification, the intention is to use the contractor's expertise in the following tasks: * Facilitation of technical workshops to ascertain the specific requirements; * Facilitation of strategic workshops to ascertain the requirements for a new Causeway system, relating to the wider digital ambition of the Department and CJOs who use Causeway. * Attendance at DOJ Senior Management Team meetings and Criminal Justice Board meetings to provide updates on the current position and provide recommendations for the way forward.",

There is reasons to modify this contract in accordance with Regulation 72(1)(b) Whereby additional works, services or supplies \"have become necessary\" and were not included in the initial procurement and a change of supplier would not be practicable (for economic, technical or interoperability reasons) and would involve substantial inconvenience/duplication of costs - provided the change does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. DoJ requires additional assistance, for the CJOs and the wider department to be clear at the outset of their needs in relation to how Causeway can fulfil wider digital ambitions. By extending the contract value this will allow DoJ to use the contractor's expertise to facilitate a series of workshops at strategic and technical levels to fully understand the requirements of each organisation, and how these can be best achieved. The contractor is the contracted Delivery Partner for the Causeway project and they have already built up a significant level of expertise through engaging with the stakeholders and participating in PME sessions. To move to another contractor at this point would be a duplication of cost and effort."
