A further competition may be commissioned during the Framework Agreement term for additional Paper Hygiene Products. Any further mini competitions for Competed Goods will be run with all Contractors appointed to the Framework Agreement irrespective of the Lot they are awarded. (Unless. otherwise excluded through poor performance). Once awarded, the Competed Goods shall form part of the Standard Goods which the successful Framework Agreement Provider is eligible to provide under the terms of this Framework Agreement for the duration of the Framework Agreement. The Successful Contractor(s) performance on this Framework Agreement 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 Framework agreement requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting value for money. If a Contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management within the Education Authority (EA) 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 Unsatisfactory Performance which may result in the termination of the Framework Agreement. 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. The 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 EA has included Social Considerations Clauses within the Framework. These can be found at Point 19 Social Value Considerations of document 2. FMM-23-007 Specification 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 goods, referred to are indicative only and shall not be binding on the Client. 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) contract(s) in respect of any part(s) of the goods or supplies covered by this notice; and (IV) to award contract(s) in stages and in no circumstances will the Authority be liable for any costs incurred by candidates.
