NEC3 Professional Services Contract Bundle: 6 book set

The Professional Services Contract is intended for use in the appointment of a supplier to provide professional services. It can be used for appointing project managers, supervisors, designers, consultants or other suppliers under NEC contracts and can also be used for appointing suppliers on non-NEC construction projects or for non-construction projects. This document contains the core clauses, the relevant main option clauses, the secondary option clauses and the contract data.The Guidance Notes explain the structure of the Professional Services Contract and the reasons for its provisions. They explain the "shell" of the contract and the need to provide important additional information such as the scope. The main options, dispute resolution options and the secondary options are all explained together with the basis of appointing a consultant.Explanatory notes on individual clauses and worked examples of contract data are also provided. The Flow Charts clearly set out the procedural logic of the 28 clauses.
