Contract Management
The Council is under a duty to ensure all accepted suppliers are monitored throughout the contract period and are subject to several performance reviews.
The supplier must ensure that quality and performance stated in the tender documents are maintained (or improved) throughout the contract period.
The Officer of the Council responsible for the administration of the contract will be notified by users of any instances when the suppliers - performance does not meet the required levels and these will be recorded for future contract reviews (unless the incident is serious enough to require immediate action).
Examples of these are: failure to deliver in accordance with the specification of the tender documents and the end user; poor administration of the contract, eg. inability to invoice at the contract rates; inability to supply monitoring information when requested etc.
You can find details of the Council contracts that are either currently up for renewal or are planned for the future at our Procurement Portal.
