Other Information

The successful Contractor’s performance on this Framework will be managed as per the specification and regularly monitored (see. Procurement Guidance Note 01/12 - Contract Management - Procedures and Principles). Contractors not delivering on contract. requirements is a serious matter.

If this occurs and your. performance does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, this can 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
