Find out more about digitising your NEC contracts.
Our view is that the NEC is deficient in this respect. We suggest that, via a ‘Z’ clause, any reference to “Scope provided by the Contractor for its design” is changed to “Scope provided by the Contractor”. Then in the Contract Data, you have two entries, one for “Scope provided by the Contractor for its design” (as there is currently) and one “Scope provided by the Contractor for its methodology”. The methodology, expressed in sufficient detail, is then referenced from the second entry and it becomes a contractual obligation to follow that methodology.
