Either party may deliver a notice to the other party setting out the nature of the dispute and its full particulars together with relevant supporting documentation. Upon service of the Dispute Notice the relevant senior authority of the supplier and the Chief Executive Officer of Community Integrated Care shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute.
