UK11 Contract Termination Notice

Peter Campbell Updated by Peter Campbell

Background Information

Purpose

This notice is used to inform the market that a contract has ended. It is mandatory for all Public Contracts, should be published regardless of successful fulfilment or early termination of contractual obligations.

The Contract Termination Notice also serves to end the record on the central digital platform where notices must be published.

Requirements

The contract termination notice has to be published within 30 days of the contract ending.

There may be occasional instances when a contract is terminated before a Contract Details Notice has been published. In these circumstances, contracting authorities should publish the Contract Details Notice first and then the Contract Termination Notice before the end of the required 30-day period for the UK11.

In instances where procurements are terminated before a contract is entered into, the publication of a Procurement Termination Notice is required instead.

Point in lifecycle

Notices that precede the publication of the contract termination notice may include:

  • Contract Details Notice, if the contract has been entered and needs to end before a change or the annual performance review happens
  • Contract Change Notice, if the contract is changed; or
  • Contract Performance Notice, to measure performance against KPIs (At least annually)

Process in Source-to-Contract

Within Source-to-Contract, the process for generating and publishing a UK11 notice involves:

  1. Moving an existing contract to a Completed or Terminated status

At this stage, the notice is generated within the system.

  1. In the Details tab, confirm that a conflict of interest assessment has been prepared or revised and populate the Termination Details section
  2. In the Notices tab, select Publish Notice

These steps are shown in the video demonstration below:
