Review and risk notes
Review procedure

CPD complied with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) and, incorporated a standstill period (i.e. a minimum of 10 calendar days).

Publisher note: The original contrat notice (2024/S 000-010198) was published under ID 4956935. Due to technical difficulties the Contracting Authoirty had to create another ID (5790521) to proceed with the procurement. Hence this is why the Contract Award Notice is being published associated with a different ID (5790521) number. The successful contractor's performance on the contract will be regularly monitored in line with the tender documentation. 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. 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 Buyer reserves the right to change any or all of them.
