  "description": "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.. . . Framework Agreement: On behalf of the six Regional Colleges in Northern Ireland (“NI Colleges”):-. • Belfast Metropolitan College (BMC). • Northern Regional College (NRC). • North West Regional College (NWRC). • Southern Regional College (SRC). • South Eastern Regional College (SERC). • South West College (SWC). Belfast Metropolitan College (BMC) wishes to award a Framework Agreement for the provision of legal Services.. . The estimated value over four years is £1,800,000. The College’s need for a legal service fluctuates from year to year and so it is not easy to estimate the volume of work. A breakdown by Lot or College is not available. However the main areas of the legal services requirement would be around GDPR, Data protection, HR/Employment law. The Colleges do not give any guarantee as to the volume of work that will be instructed under this framework.",
