Contract Administration Manual

Summary

The Crossrail programme adopted the NEC3 ECC form of contract with additional conditions of contract (Z clauses). Almost all works contracts adopted the Target Cost payment option (Option C).

A Contract Administration Manual was provided to those with delegated contract authority and those involved in supporting the management of contract terms.

The Manual set out Crossrail’s contract administration policy to support delivery of the programme and underscore the collaborative nature of the NEC3 contract form.

The manual set out arrangements for how each specific contract clause was to be managed within Crossrail’s wider governance structure (eg consultation, notifications). The document referenced templates and tools provided as appendices.
