The framework will be divided into 3 lots, based on value & whether the works are categorised as general or structural civil engineering. The framework terms & conditions will be based on NEC4 Framework Contract, Call Off Contracts (Work Orders) will use the NEC Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC), NEC Engineering & Construction Short Contract (ECSC), NEC Term Service Contract (TSC) & Term Service Short Contract (TSSC) supplemented with some bespoke terms & conditions.
