Publisher note: Mini-Competitions: Further competitions may be commissioned during the framework term for additional cleaning materials, catering services hygiene products and PPE.

Contract Monitoring: The Successful Contractor's performance on this Contract will be managed as per the specification and regularly monitored (see Procurement Guidance Note 01/12 - Contract Management - Procedures and Principles). Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for.

Any contractor in receipt of a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance will be required to declare this in future tender submissions for a period of three years from the date of issue of the Notice.
