What Is A Cure Notice?
When the government believes that your performance is below par, your company is in danger of receiving a cure notice. The cure notice informs the contractor of the specific failure and gives the contractor an opportunity to fix or ‘cure’ the defect within 10 days. In some instances a longer ‘cure’ period may be necessary and is at the discretion of the governing agency. A cure notice requires you take action or risk termination. However, a contract may not be terminated until allotted the “cure” period has expired.
A cure notice can be long or short but must specifically state the issues. A written reply is not necessary but action is required to address the problem. However, the contractor may respond via writing to explain or address and progress made or in the works to comply with issued cure notice. The contractor may also identify any failures on the government’s part and any excusable delays that have contributed to the lack of progress.
