  "description": "Please note that information relating to contractors engaged by the Northern Ireland Department of Justice, and associated bodies,.. is not published in any publicly accessible forum or publication. This is to protect such contractors, whose security and safety could.. be threatened by dissident terrorist organisations still active in Northern Ireland if their details became known. This is consistent with.. Regulation 50(6)(a).. . The contract values listed are broad estimates only and include additional quantum for unforeseen demand and.. to future proof for additional potential. These values reflect the potential scale of the contract and take into account potential optional.. extension periods and the. uptake of potential optional services as detailed in the tender documents. There is no guarantee of any level.. of business under this contract. The estimates are not deemed to be conditions of contract nor a guarantee of minimum demand or.. uptake. No compensation will be payable to a contractor should the actual demand be less than that stated.. . Contract Monitoring. The.. successful contractor\u2019s 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.",
