What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB) trading as Tourism Northern Ireland (Tourism NI) is a statutory, non-departmental public body. It is funded by the Department for the Economy (DfE). The Northern Ireland Visitor Information Centre (VIC) network established by Tourism NI in 1994 provides a coordinated, consistent and improved source of high quality visitor information. Tourism NI plays a key role in this by providing a range of services to the network including the provision of promotional literature and marketing support. Tourism NI also produces a range of literature / collateral which is used to promote Northern Ireland as an attractive, globally competitive and successful destination. In this regard, Tourism NI needs to procure storage space for this literature / collateral as well as services for distributing and replenishing literature throughout Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the rest of the world. Tourism Northern Ireland is seeking to procure a Contractor who can provide storage of literature/collateral/ad hoc items. The Contractor will be expected to securely store Tourism NI property / ad hoc items as well as a range of Tourism NI corporate literature/collateral and promotional materials and provide a pick and pack service for items in storage to be collected for distribution by our contracted courier.

- Review procedure
CPD will comply with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) and, where appropriate, will incorporate a standstill period (i.e. a minimum of 10 calendar days) at the point information on the award of contract is communicated to tenderers. That notification will provide full information on the award decision. This provides time for the unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into.
Publisher note: 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 Procurement Delivery Supplies and Services Division for further action. If this occurs and the contractor's performance does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, this can be considered grounds for termination of the contract at the contractor's 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. Note this is a demand led contract and the values stated are estimates.
