Subcontractor performance-delivery


Recommended Posts

Folks-

Our company awarded a number of PO's for highly critical engineered components. A PO was issued and subsequently acknowledged by the supplier. NO exceptions taken to either delivery or T&C's.

The supplier has missed initial delivery requirements, has provided revised dates and yet again has missed. Our firm has no clause for Liquidated Damages.

Our firm wishes to issue a cure notice and incorporate a penalties clause for missing any additional delivery forecasts.

Are we within our rights to do so?

Your feedback is appreciated!

As noted above, the laws of your particular state and the terms of the Purchase Orders are critical. As a matter of general principal, it seems to me that you cannot unilaterally impose a liquidated damage provision in your purchase order. Your supplier may be willing to accept a liquidated damages provision in exchange for an additional performance period extension. Whatever you do, you should make this a bilateral agreement that becomes binding on both parties (I cannot tell if the current purchase order is unilateral or bilateral; if it is unilateral it is not clear what remedies you may ultimately have should the supplier fail to deliver).
