Is there anyway in a contract where you don’t have to ask the consultant for a quotation and can go straight to a Employers Assessment?
Why I ask is that I am expecting to de-scope some work from the consultant, but I am expecting them to add a large value under preparation of the quote, where I know we are not going to agree on the figure anway, as we have had discussions outside of the official instruction to de-scope, so I am likely to make an Employers Assessment anyway.
