If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in construction and procurement delivery (CPD) for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels withinthe specified period,. this may be considered grounds for termination of the contract at your expense as provided for in the Conditions of Contract. In lieuof termination, CPD may issue a Notice of Written Warning or a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance. A supplier in receipt of multiple. Notices of Written Warning or a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance may, in accordance with The Public ContractsRegulations 2015 (as. amended), be excluded from future public procurement competitions for a period of up to three years..
