I agree with Dean2 in that you should talk to him about the work. If you have personally seen similar work done by him that is of higher quality then you know he is capable of better work. If similar work is the same as yours then he is working to the best of his ability and doesn't meet your standards. If that is the best he can do all I can suggest is let it go and don't deal with him anymore and be careful about recommending him to others. Everybody has a bad day and not everybody can meet others standards.
Go talk to him and see if you can work it out. If he becomes defensive and obstinate then chalk it up to experience. Who knows. He might surprise you and make things right. And not mentioning him by name is very respectful at this stage.
