Publisher note: The successful contractor’s performance on this contract will be managed as per the specification and regularly monitored (see.

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 and this contract may be terminated. A central register. of such notices for supplies and services contracts will be maintained and published on the CPD website. Any contractor in receipt of. a notice of unsatisfactory performance will be required to declare this in future tender submissions for a period of 3 years from the. date of issue of the notice.
