There is a need to minimise disruption to services for Area A which extends to other Blue light organisations. There is

increase in operational deployment over the summer period which may place greater demand for collision services. In addition, there

are PSNI site and location security checks which must be carried out if a new supplier is successful. This would not be achievable

within the timescales for the normal Open Procedure and would further delay any award of contract

Review procedure

CPD will comply with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 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: Contract Monitoring. The successful contractor’s performance on the contract will be regularly monitored in line with the tender. documentation. . 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 regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Notice of Unsatisfactory. Performance and the contract may be terminated. . The issue of a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance can result in the Contractor. being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by. the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a period of three years from the date of issue.. . The Authority expressly reserves the rights:. .. (I). not to award any contract as a result of the procurement process commenced by publication of this notice;. (II). to make whatever. changes it may see fit to the content and structure of the tendering Competition;. (III). to award (a) contract(s) in respect of any part(s). of the services covered by this notice; and. (IV). to award contract(s) in stages.. . and in no circumstances will the Authority be liable for. any costs incurred by candidates.". . . This project will be used to progress the Government’s wider social, economic and environmental. objectives.
