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.

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.
