Review and risk notes
Review procedure

CPD complied with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Publisher note: The successful Contractor’s performance will be managed as per the specification. and 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 CPD for further action. If this. occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be grounds for termination. of the contract at the Contractor's expense. In lieu of termination they may be issued with a Notice of Written Warning or a Notice of.. Unsatisfactory Performance. 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 multiple Notices of Written Warning or Notices 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 Centres of Procurement.
