Hi,  
We’ve got a NEC3 Short Form Contract for some small works to be carried out. The Contractor named in the contract has been absorbed by another Contractor, and therefore their name changes.  
How do we best manage this change in the contract data?  
Thanks,

Good question and the answer depends on how the original contractor has been absorbed. If you can tell me the names etc I can advise. I can be found on LinkedIn or my company website: [Wellesley.uk.com](http://Wellesley.uk.com)
