Review and risk notes
Review procedure

DfI will incorporate a standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. That notification will provide full information on the award decision. The standstill period, which will be for a minimum of 10 calendar days, provides time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (Northern Ireland).

Publisher note: The total contract value in V.2.4 does not include annual inflationary increases. The Open procedure was discontinued as no suitable bids were received. As permitted by Reg 32(2)(a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 the Contracting Authority moved to the negotiated procedure without prior publication. All Economic Operators that passed the Selection Stage of the Open procedure were invited to take part in the negotiated procedure which resulted in the contract being awarded. Contract Monitoring. 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 DfI 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 Certificate of Unsatisfactory Performance and the contract may be terminated. The issue of a Certificate of Unsatisfactory Performance will result in the contractor being excluded from all procurement competition being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a.period of twelve months from the date of issue of the certificate.
