Drink drive courses are currently used as part of a sentencing option in courts. Where an offender is disqualified for 12 months or more in respect of an alcohol-related driving offence, the court must (unless for special reasons it thinks it would be inappropriate to do so) order that the period of disqualification be reduced if the offender satisfactorily completes an approved Course for Drink Drive Offenders (CDDO/the course).

Drink drive courses are currently used as part of a sentencing option in courts. Where an offender is disqualified for 12 months or more in respect of an alcohol-related driving offence, the court must (unless for special reasons it thinks it would be inappropriate to do so) order that the period of disqualification be reduced if the offender satisfactorily completes an approved Course for Drink Drive Offenders (CDDO/the course). The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) wishes to appoint a Contractor (i.e. a course provider) to provide courses for drink drive offenders from 1st October 2024. Additional information: Section II.1.7 details the estimated total value of the contract. 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 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..
