23 | P a g e
C2.1 Pricing assumptions: Option A
1.1 How work is priced and assessed for payment
Clause 11 in NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract, April 2013 (ECC3) Option A states:
Identified and 11 (20) The Activity Schedule is the activity schedule unless later changed in
defined terms 11.2 accordance with this contract.
(22) Defined Cost is the cost of the components in the Shorter Schedule of
Cost Components whether work is subcontracted or not excluding the cost of
preparing quotations for compensation events.
(27) The Price for Work Done to Date is the total of the Prices for
A completed activity is one which is without Defects which would either delay
or be covered by immediately following work.
(30) The Prices are the lump sum prices for each of the activities on the Activity
Schedule unless later changed in accordance with this contract.
Option A is a lump sum form of contract where the work is broken down into activities, each of which is priced
by the tendering contractor as a lump sum. Only completed activities are assessed for payment at each
assessment date; no part payment is made if the activity is not completed by the assessment date.
1.2 Function of the Activity Schedule
Clause 54.1 in Option A states: “Information in the Activity Schedule is not Works Information or Site
Information”. This confirms that instructions to do work or how it is to be done are not included in the Activity
Schedule but in the Works Information. This is further confirmed by Clause 20.1 which states, “The Contractor
Provides the Works in accordance with the Works Information”. Hence the Contractor does not Provide the
Works in accordance with the Activity Schedule. The Activity Schedule is only a pricing document.
1.3 Link to the programme
Clause 31.4 states that “The Contractor provides information which shows how each activity on the Activity
Schedule relates to the operations on each programme which he submits for acceptance”. Hence when
compiling the activity schedule, the tendering contractor needs to show each activity on the programme he
submits with his tender.
1.4 Preparing the activity schedule
The tendering contractor prepares the activity schedule and should study the ECC3 Guidance Notes pages
19 and 20 before doing so. The Employer may have instructed the tendering contractor to include particular
activities which he has specified and requires the Contractor to identify them in his activity schedule.
1 Generally, it is the Contractor who prepares the Activity Schedule as part of his tender by breaking down
the work described within the Works Information into suitable activities which can be well defined, priced
as a lump sum and shown on the programme. The Employer, in his Conditions of Tender or in a Tender
Schedule, may have listed some items that he requires the Contractor to include in his activity schedule
and be priced accordingly.
24 | P a g e
2 The Prices are defined in clause 11.2(20) as the lump sum for each activity in the activity schedule and
the Price for Work Done to Date (PWDD) (the amount due to the contractor) is defined in clause 11.2(24)
as the total of the Prices for each activity that has been completed. Hence activities in the activity
schedule should be structured so as to provide an acceptable monthly cash flow as they are only
assessed for payment on the assessment date if they have been completed.
3 As the Contractor has an obligation to correct Defects (core clause 43.1) and there is no compensation
event for this unless the Defect was due to an Employer’s risk, the lump sum Prices must also include
for the correction of Defects.
4 If the Contractor has decided not to identify a particular activity, the cost to the Contractor of doing the
work must be included in, or spread across, the other Prices in order to fulfil the obligation to complete
the works for the tendered total of the Prices.
5 There is no adjustment to the lump sum activity schedule price if the amount, or quantity, of work within
that activity later turns out to be different to that which the contractor estimated at time of tender. The
only basis for a change to the Prices is as a result of a compensation event. See Clause 60.1.
6 Hence the Prices tendered by the Contractor in the activity schedule are inclusive of everything
necessary and incidental to Providing the Works in accordance with the Works Information, as it was at
the time of tender, as well as correct any Defects not caused by an Employer’s risk.
7 However, the Contractor does not have to allow in his Prices for matters that may arise as a result of a
compensation event. It should be noted that the list of compensation events includes those arising as a
result of an Employer's risk event listed in core clause 80.1.
