The successful contractor’s performance on the contract will be regularly monitored. A contractor 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 Certificate of Unsatisfactory Performance and the contract may be terminated.
SportNI wishes to appoint contractors to supply and deliver on three separate lots. Tenderers may bid for 1 or more or all 3 lots. Each lot will be evaluated independently. A tenderer may be awarded a position on more than 1 of the lots on the basis of lowest price. The lots under this contract are as follows:
The estimated total contract value is between GBP 237 000 and GBP 600 000 for the contract period. The range reflects the potential scale of the contract and takes into account such changes to the scope and/or scale which may result from future requirements. The pricing strategy applied and the setting of cost/profit margins are a commercial decision for economic operators when submitting a bid for this competition. In addition, neither CPD nor the Authority can provide any guarantee as to the level of business under this contract..
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.
