The documents or reports shall be deemed to have been approved by the Contracting Authority if it does not expressly inform the Contractor of any comments within 45 days of the receipt of the report. 8.3 If the contractor fails to provide the service in accordance with the contract (‘unperformed obligations’) or if it fails to provide the service in accordance with the expected quality levels specified in the Terms of Reference (‘low quality delivery’), the contracting authority may reduce or recover payments proportionally to the seriousness of the unperformed obligations or low quality delivery.
