What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Police Service of Northern Ireland’s (PSNI) main aim is “Keeping People Safe”. In order to keep themselves, their colleagues and the public safe, it is important that all Police Officers and Police Staff are both physically and mentally fit, healthy and well. Consequently, PSNI are committed to supporting Police Officers and Police Staff by providing facilities to help staff keep fit. These facilities include Sports Hall and Fitness Room facilities at major sites, whilst most other police stations are equipped with smaller Fitness Rooms. These rooms contain high quality training equipment which is provided and maintained by Physical Health and Wellbeing. This Contract is for the Supply, Delivery, Maintenance, Repair and Transportation of Physical Training and Sports Hall Equipment. The equipment and facilities are located within 56 police establishments throughout Northern Ireland as detailed in Annex A.

Review procedure

CPD complied with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) and incorporated 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: Contract monitoring: the successful contractor’s performance on the contract will be regularly monitored. 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 construction and procurement delivery (CPD) for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, this may be considered grounds for termination of the contract at your expense as provided for in the Conditions of Contract. In lieu of termination, CPD may issue a Notice of Written Warning or a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance. A supplier in receipt of multiple Notices of Written Warning or a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance may, in accordance with The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended), be excluded from future public procurement competitions for a period of up to three years.
