NEC3 ECC Subcontract - De-Scoping the Works Information (costs in relation to)

NEC3 and NEC4 Contracts Termination
1

Hi,

I currently have a number of Subcontracts under NEC3 ECC (and SSC) where we have descoped large elements of the works, so for instance, a £4m subcontract has become a £1m subcontract.

In one instance the Subcontractor has came back to us claiming the full amount of the Subcontract because they have not got any more work and resourced up for this works which is now not going ahead.

How do I fairly assess their entitlement? Does the contractor pick up thing like redundancy costs?

Note- we gave them adequate notice of the de-scoping and effectively we are not ‘terminating’ the contract, just reducing the scope.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Gareth.
