The Contractor have a option E contract with the Project Manager.
the Project Manager requested the Contractor to remove the historical scope from the programme.
i cant seem to find anything in the NEC3 book that points out that this is possible.
the programme is submitted by means of a Contractors Communication (CC)
Can you please advise on this
By historical scope do you mean the first bullet of clause 32.1, the actual progress achieved on each operation and its effect upon the timing of the remaining work .
If so you should ask the PM why it wants it removed and request him to reconsider.
This is a very strange request. You need to ask the Project Manager what they are looking to achieve by doing this. Historical as-built information will change nothing in the programme going forward. It is very easy to filter out completed historical activities by just showing remaining activities - there is no need to permanently remove it. They should be accepting your programme or giving you reasons why they are not accepting -and this is not a reason to not accept under 31.3.
