Review and risk notes
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 PCR 2015. The EA operated a standstill period (i.e. a minimum of 10 calendar days). at the point information on the award of contract was communicated to tenderers. That notification provided full information on the award decision. This provided time for the unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract was entered into.

Publisher note: Two contractors have been appointed to each lot. During the contract orders will be placed with the first ranked Contractor. For continuity of service purposes, the Education Authority reserves the right, in the event of capacity issues, to move to the second ranked Contractor who will be approached to fulfil all or part of the client's requirements 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. 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 EA for further action. If this occurs and the Contractor's 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 Unsatisfactory Performance and this Contract may be terminated. 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. It may also result in the contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by the EA. Education Authority Northern Ireland (EA) are committed to the promotion of social inclusion and equal opportunities, as well as the responsible use and protection of natural resources and reducing our carbon footprint as key objectives in the Sustainable Development Strategy for Northern Ireland. The Authority has included with the contract documents a Social Considerations Schedule. To help achieve the EA's objectives and address the strategic aims, it is required that the successful Contractor, as a condition of contract, deliver measurable social value outcomes as set within this Social Considerations Schedule. The Authority cannot give any commitment as to the usage, volume, or value of products required under this Contract. Any levels, or aggregate values of services referred to are indicative only and shall not be binding on the Client. The Contracting Authority has included Social Considerations Clauses within the Contract. These can be found within Schedule 4 - Social Considerations within the document FMM-21-016 Commercial Conditions of Contract.
