Under PSC3 Option C we believe, as the Employer, are entitled to a withhold sums against the Consultant’s in their application for payment as they have not allocated their costs correctly as identified in the WBS shown on their Accepted Programme i.e. other amounts to be paid to the Consultant less amounts to be paid by or retained from the Consultant. Would the Consultant in response have recourse to stand down the resources until their costs were fully paid ?
Hi
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you on this question, Y2.4 if it is included in the contract does allow the Consultants to suspend performance under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, subject to meeting certain conditions.
