Decision details

Approval of LUF Form of Construction Contract

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Purpose:

The County Council needs to consider the most appropriate form of construction contract for the engagement of a contractor for the delivery of projects in the East Lancashire Levelling Up Fund Programme. These projects have budgets generally in the region of £1.5M to £5M with construction periods in the order of 12 months. The projects are currently at detail design stage and it is intended that a fully detailed client design will be developed. The majority of schemes of this nature are delivered nationally through a form of contract contained with the New Engineering Contract (NEC4) suite of documents. NEC4 is a modern contract, with options that offer varying degrees of risk to both the client and contractor.

Decision:

Andy Mullaney, Director of Environment and Planning approved the NEC4 Option A, Priced Contract with Activity Schedule as the form of construction contract for the engagement of a contractor for the delivery of projects in the East Lancashire Levelling Up Fund Programme.
