What is being bought

Published requirement description

DfC NMNI - Workshops Collections Storage Replacement Project - National Museums NI’s (NMNI) aim to upgrade their storage infrastructure which will improve access to the collection. This can be achieved by the purchase of conservation and museum quality static and mobile racking, a mezzanine floor for racking and tools and equipment for the outfitting of the museum storage for the rehousing of the small objects from the Transport and Industry, Folk Textile and Folk Life collections stores. NMNI is seeking to appoint a single Contractor for the provision of storage hardware necessary to replace the current collections storage footprint at NMNI Workshops to a conservation and museum standard.

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

CPD will comply with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) and, where appropriate, will incorporate a standstill period (i.e. a minimum of 10 calendar days) at the point information on the award of contract is communicated to tenderers. That notification will provide full information on the award decision. This provides time for the unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into.

Publisher note: 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 Construction Procurement Delivery Supplies and Services Division for further action. If this occurs and your performance does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, this can be considered grounds for termination of the contract at your expense as provided for in the Conditions of Contract. In lieu of 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 Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) be excluded from future public procurement competitions for a period of up to three years.
