The contract value is an estimate only and will be dependent upon whether an extension (in part or in whole) is enacted, whether any optional services (in part or in whole) are enacted, the extent of any contract changes, and the indices used to index prices.\r\n\r\nNEC contract management is an ongoing requirement for departments across the Authority. The suite of NEC contracts that are used by the Authority include, but are not limited to, the Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC), Engineering and Construction Short Contract (ECSC), Facilities Management Contract (FMC), Term Service Contract (TSC) and Professional Services Contract (PSC). As multiple partner agencies across the Authority use this standard suite of contracts, one system is being sought to enable consistency and improved ways of working across the Authority group.",
