Council for the Curriculum, Examination and Assessment NI (CCEA), Armagh Observatory and Planetarium, Middletown Centre for Autism, Controlled Schools Support Council (CSSC) and Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education (NICIE) who may also use this Framework. 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 Framework requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting value for money. If a Contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management within the Education Authority (EA) 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 which may result in the termination of the Framework. Any contractor in receipt of a Notice 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 the EA. The EA are committed to the promotion of social inclusion and equal opportunities, as well as the responsible use and protection of natural resources and reducing our carbon footprint as key objectives in the Sustainable Development Strategy for Northern Ireland. The EA has included with the Framework documents Schedule 8 - Social Considerations Schedule, to help achieve the EA’s objectives and address the strategic aims. The Authority cannot give any commitment as to the usage, volume, or value of orders required under this Framework. Any levels, or aggregate values of goods, referred to are indicative only and. shall not be binding on the Client. Mini-Competitions: A further competition may be commissioned during the framework term for additional servicing and repair of grounds maintenance equipment requirements. Any further mini-competitions for Competed Services will be run with all Contractors appointed to the framework, irrespective of the Lot they were awarded (unless otherwise excluded through poor performance). Once awarded, the Competed Services shall form part of the Standard Services which the successful Framework Provider is eligible to provide under the terms of this Framework Agreement for the duration of the Framework Agreement.
