NEC ECC: Any comments on the options for relief and deed of variation contained in the Cabinet Office Guidance Note dated 06 April 2020 on the Procurement Policy Note 02/2020

Any comments on the options for relief and deed of variation contained in the Cabinet Office Guidance Note dated 06 April 2020 on the Procurement Policy Note 02/2020.

In particular what if a Contractor has entitlement under a CE for suspension of site works. What impact would there be on that entitlement if the deed of variation was entered into?

It really would depend on what the deed of variation said as you are effectively, by agreement, altering the conditions of contract.

Thanks Jon. There are specific options and a specific Deed of Variation that have been published. I appreciate that what it varies will depend on the original contract but any comments on the options as well as the deed and whether these work would be helpful.
Thanks
