Review procedure

DfI 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 Contracting Authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are Small or Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The evaluation of submissions (PQQPs or TPs) will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement, and the contract will be awarded on the basis stated in II.2.5). All documents will only be available on line through the eTendersNI portal.. (1)If your company is not already registered on eTendersNI you may do so through the eTendersNI portal https://etendersni.gov.uk/epps/home.do — Select the “Register as a Supplier” link and follow the on screen instructions.. 2) Expression of Interest and access to tender documentation — You may “Express an Interest” in a project and access the tender documentation via the projects CfT Menu. If you require assistance or help to navigate the site please consult the on-line help, or contact the eTendersNI help desk. The documents may be downloaded up to the closing date and time for the submission. Submissions must be completed and returned to the Contracting Authority using the online eTendersNI portal, to arrive not later than the time and date as stated in IV.2.2). The Contracting Authority is utilising an electronic tendering system to manage this procurement and to communicate with Economic Operators. Accordingly, it is intended that all communications with the Contracting Authority, including the accessing and submission of tender responses, will be conducted via eTendersNI. As part of its contract management procedures, the Contracting Authority and their CoPE will use the Protocol for Managing Poor Supplier Performance contained in Procurement Guidance Note PGN 01/12 — Contract management principles and procedures: https://www.finance-ni.gov.uk/publications/procurement-guidance-. note-0112-contract-management principles and procedures. The protocol sets out a series of five escalating stages to enable Contracting Authorities and their CoPEs to manage poor performance by suppliers. At Stage 4, as an alternative to terminating the contract, senior management in the Contracting Authority/CoPE can issue a Notice of Written Warning. At stage 5, as an alternative to terminating the contract, a notice of unsatisfactory performance can be issued to the economic operator. These notices remain current for the period of time stated in the protocol and an economic operator must declare, in subsequent procurement competitions, if it has received a current Notice of Written Warning or a current Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance within 3 years of the TP Submission Deadline. If an economic operator has received more than one current Notice of Written Warning the Contracting Authority/CoPE, at its discretion, can consider an economic operator’s exclusion from future procurement competitions, being undertaken on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Public Procurement Policy, for a minimum period of 12 months. If an economic operator is subject to a notice of unsatisfactory performance the Contracting Authority/CoPE, at its discretion, can consider the economic operator’s exclusion from future procurement competitions, being undertaken on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Public Procurement Policy, for a period of 3 years. A list of these bodies subject to Northern Ireland Public Procurement Policy can be viewed at:. https://www.finance-ni.gov.uk/articles/listpublic-bodies-which-ni-public-procurement-policy- applies..

    • Change Increases to contract values required as follows, Lots: IAS1 (Newry & Mourne) contract value to be increased from 8 600 000 GBP to 12 470 000 GBP, IAS2 (Down) contract value to be increased from 6 200 000 GBP to 8 990 000 GBP, IAW3 (Dungannon) contract value to be increased from 5 700 000 GBP to 8 265 000 GBP, IAW2 (Omagh) contract value to be increased from 5 120 000 GBP to 7 424 000 GBP, IAW1 (Magherafelt) 3 500 000 GBP to 5 075 000 GBP and IAW4 (Strabane) 3 400 000 GBP to 4 930 000 GBP. The modification is considered to deliver value for money and is in the public interest. It is considered a reasonable and proportionate step in order to improve road safety whilst balancing against our legal duty to expose the service requirement to full, open competition., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The Department experienced delays to the procurement of the ITCAR programme. These were caused by the impact of the Covid pandemic on Departmental and Economic Operator’s staff, extreme price fluctuations in construction materials and fuel during both the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Significant resource funding pressures slowed recruitment of staff resulting in significant Dept vacancies. During 22/23, these issues resulted in reduced contract coverage for road maintenance works, exacerbating the ongoing deterioration of the network. To allow for essential improvements to the road network improving safety, the value of works provided through these contracts has increased, resulting in a need to increase contract values from those initially envisaged. This level of expenditure was unforeseen when the ITCAR strategy was published. A strategy for replacement contracts has completed consultation stages, the final report has been published, with procurement due to commence mid-2024.
