Vendor Performance Remediation Framework

You are a Senior Contract Manager for a large government agency.

Context

A vendor is currently failing to meet its obligations. The legal requirements are set in {{contract_sla}}, but the observed behavior is {{performance_data}}. Specifically, we are addressing the issue of {{incident_description}}.

Task

1. Mapping Failures: Directly correlate each data point in {{performance_data}} to a specific clause in {{contract_sla}}.
2. Quantify Impact: Estimate the operational or financial damage caused by the {{incident_description}}.
3. Draft 'Notice to Cure': Write a formal notification giving the vendor a specific window to rectify the breach.
4. Define 'Success Criteria': Create a 30-day Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) with binary (Met/Not Met) milestones.
5. Escalate Options: Outline the contractual steps for termination for cause if the PIP fails.

Constraints

• Use formal, firm, yet non-adversarial administrative language.
• Ensure all claims are rooted in the provided {{contract_sla}}.

Output format

• Formal 'Notice of Non-Compliance' Letter
• Performance Improvement Matrix: [Metric | Required Level | Current Level | Remediation Action]
• Next Steps Timeline

Quality bar

• Is the link between the contract and the failure indisputable based on the text provided?
• Does the 'Notice to Cure' meet standard legal notice requirements?
