- Performance terms
The Contractors performance will be subject to regular review in accordance with the Commercial Terms and Conditions. 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 written warning and notice of unsatisfactory performance, and this contract may be. terminated. The issue of a notice of written warning and notice of unsatisfactory. performance will 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 up to 3 years from the date of issue of. the notice. 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 contracts in respect of any part(s) of the services covered by this notice and. (iv) to award contract(s) in stages.

- Review procedure
The UK does not have any special review body with responsibility for appeal/. mediation. procedures in public procurement competitions. Instead, any challenges are dealt with by. the High Court, Commercial Division, to which proceedings may be issued regarding alleged. breaches of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended)
Publisher note: Please note that The Northern Ireland Protocol came into effect from 1 January 2021. Under the Protocol Northern Ireland will remain in the single market for goods and will. be required to follow EU Customs rules. Northern Ireland also remains part of the UK. customs territory and as a result, the process of moving goods into and out of Northern. Ireland has changed. In particular, for goods coming from GB to NI the contractor must. ensure that all processes and procedures are followed to ensure unhindered supply. to the Client.
