QUESTION NO.33

QUESTION: Councillor J. Sinnott

To ask the Chief Executive can the County Council preclude a private contractor from a Council tendering process if that contractor has provided a less than adequate service to the Council on a previous contract for services?

REPLY:

Yes this is provided for under Article 57 of Public Sector Directive 2014/24/EU (as implemented by SI 284 of May 2016), whereby an Economic Operator will be excluded from the procurement process if it has shown significant or persistent deficiencies in the performance of a substantive requirement under a prior public contract, a prior contract with a contracting entity, or a prior concession contract, which led to early termination of that prior contract, damages or other comparable sanctions.
