Under JCT Standard Building Contract 2009, if an employer is making a claim to recover actual damages, is an entry of 'NA' in the contract particulars sufficient?

No. Making such a statement in the contract particulars would not remove the liquidated damages provision from the contract. This is deal with in JCT Standard Building Contract 2009 clause 2.32.
