These guidance notes explain the provisions of the Short Contract package through its three stages, how an Employer invites tenders, how a tender makes an offer and how a contract is made. Notes are then provided on the clauses and methods of joining diputes with main contract disputes. Worked examples are provided of the contract data forms.
The second part of the book contains flow charts which set out the procedural logic of the 28 clauses that can be presented with benefit by flow charting
Construction Clients' Board endorsement of NEC3
The Construction Clients' Board (formerly Public Sector Clients' Forum) recommends that public sector organisations use the NEC3 contracts when procuring construction.
