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 can 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 three years from the date of issue. 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; (II). to make whatever changes it may see fit to the content and structure. of the tendering Competition; (III). to award (a) contract(s) in respect of any part(s) of the services covered by this notice; and. (IV). to. award contract(s) in stages. In no circumstances will the Authority be liable for any costs incurred by candidates. This project will be used. to progress the Government's wider social, economic and environmental objectives.",
