The Successful Contractor’s performance on this Contract will be managed as per the specification and regularly monitored (see Procurement Guidance Note. 01/12 - Contract Management - Procedures and Principles). Contractors not delivering on Contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting value for money. If a Contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of performance, they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management within the Education Authority (EA) 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 which may result in the termination of the Contract. Any contractor in receipt of a Notice 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 the EA. The EA are committed to the promotion of social inclusion and equal opportunities, as well as the responsible use and protection of natural resources and reducing our carbon footprint as key objectives in the Sustainable Development Strategy for Northern Ireland. The EA has included with the Contract documents (Schedule 4 - Social Considerations Schedule of document 4. FMM-24-002 Services (Contract) Commercial Conditions), to help achieve the EA’s objectives and address the strategic aims. The Authority cannot give any commitment as to the usage, volume, or value of orders required under this Contract. Any levels, or aggregate values of services referred to are indicative only and shall not be binding on the Client.
