    "description": "The figure indicated in Section II 1.5 represents an estimated contract value. This value reflects the potential scale of the contract,... however, neither CPD nor the Authority can provide any guarantee as to the level of business under this contract. The Contracting... Authority does not bind itself to accept the lowest or any tender. Economic Operators remain responsible for all costs and expenses... incurred by them. or by any third party acting under instructions from the Economic Operator in connection with taking part in this... procurement process regardless of whether such costs arise as a consequence, directly or indirectly of any amendments made to the... procurement documents by the Contracting Authority at any time. No legally binding contract shall arise (and an Economic Operator.. shall. have no legitimate expectation that a contract will be entered into) until such time as entry into the Contract has been confirmed.. by the. Contracting Authority. Economic Operators should note that all dates, time periods and figures in relation to values and volumes.. specified. in this notice and the procurement documents are approximate only and the Contracting Authority reserves the right to. change. any or. all of them. The successful contractor's performance on the contract will be 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 regarded as an act of. grave. professional. misconduct and they may be issued with a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance and the contract may be terminated.. The. issue of a. 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. twelve months. from the date of issue of the Notice.",
