C2.1 Pricing assumptions: Option A
The conditions of contract
How work is priced and assessed for payment
Clause 11 in NEC3 Term Service Contract, April 2013 (TSC3) core clauses and Option A states:
Identified and 11
defined terms 11.2 (12) The Price List is the price list unless later changed in accordance with this contract.
(17) The Price for Services Provided to Date is the total of
the Price for each lump sum item in the Price List which the Contractor has
completed and
where a quantity is stated for an item in the Price List, an amount calculated by
multiplying the quantity which the Contractor has completed by the rate.
(19) The Prices are the amounts stated in the Price column of the Price List. Where a
quantity is stated for an item in the Price List, the Price is calculated by multiplying the
quantity by the rate.
This confirms that Option A is a priced contract where the Prices are derived from a list of items of service which can be
priced as lump sums or as expected quantities of service multiplied by a rate or a mix of both. Where it is contemplated
that the Price List represents the type of work, quantity and cost thereof which may or not be selected by the Employer, it
is important to ensure that service items listed do not create liability on a daily basis if that is not the intention. For example,
if the service is maintenance of an installation on an ad hoc or call-off basis which may require the Contractor to be on
standby but not permanently on the Affected Property, avoid listing service items which may be treated as preliminary and
general (P&Gs) items, whether fixed or time-related such as contractual requirements, establishing on site, offices, storage,
ablutions, water supplies, power supply, telecommunications. The Price List should align with the intention of the contract
and selection of Option X 19 should be considered. If the Contractor is required to price P&G items ensure that the tender,
contract and Price List provides clearly that daily charges are applicable only as necessitated by the specific activity and
authorised by the Service Manager. Particular care should be taken when utilising SANS 1200 as a guide for tenderers or
for preparing templates for Price Lists in tenders. Avoid referring to the Price List as the Activity Schedule.
Function of the Price List
Clause 54.1 in Option A states: “Information in the Price List is not Service Information”. This confirms that instructions to
do work or how it is to be done are not included in the Price List but in the Service Information. This is further confirmed
by Clause 20.1 which states, “The Contractor Provides the Service in accordance with the Service Information”. Hence the
Contractor does not Provide the Service in accordance with the Price List. The Price List is only a pricing document.
Link to the Contractor’s plan
Clause 21.4 states “The Contractor provides information which shows how each item description on the Price List relates
to the operations on each plan which he submits for acceptance”. Hence when compiling the price list, the tendering
contractor needs to develop his first clause 21.2 plan in such a way that operations shown on it can be priced in the price
list and result in a satisfactory cash flow in terms of clause 11.2(17).
Preparing the price list
It will be assumed that the tendering contractor has read Pages 14, 15 and 76 of the TSC3 Guidance Notes before
preparing the price list. Items in the price list may have been inserted by the Employer and the tendering contractor
should insert any additional items which he considers necessary. Whichever party provides the items in the price list
the total of the Prices is assumed to be fully inclusive of everything necessary to Provide the Service as described at
the time of entering into this contract.
1 As the Contractor has an obligation to correct Defects (core clause 42.1) and there is no compensation event for
this unless the Defect was due to an Employer’s risk, the lump sum Prices and rates must also include for the correction
Pricing Assumptions C2.1
ConfidentialConfidential
Confidential
of Defects.
2 If the Contractor has decided not to identify a particular item in the price list at the time of tender the cost to the
Contractor of doing the work must be included in, or spread across, the other Prices and rates in the price list in order
to fulfil the obligation to complete the service for the tendered total of the Prices.
3 There is no adjustment to lump sum prices in the price list if the amount, or quantity, of work within that lump sum
item of service 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.
4 Hence the Prices and rates tendered by the Contractor in the price list are inclusive of everything necessary and
incidental to Providing the Service in accordance with the Service Information, as it was at the time of tender, as well as
correct any Defects not caused by an Employer’s risk.
5 The Contractor does not have to allow in his Prices and rates 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.
Format of the price list
(From of the TSC3 Guidance Notes)
Entries in the first four columns in the price list in section C2.2 are made either by the Employer or the tendering contractor.
If the Contractor is to be paid an amount for the item which is not adjusted if the quantity of work in the item changes, the
tendering contractor enters the amount in the Price column only, the Unit, Expected Quantity and Rate columns being left
blank.
If the Contractor is to be paid an amount for an item of work which is the rate for the work multiplied by the quantity
completed, the tendering contractor enters the rate which is then multiplied by the Expected Quantity to produce the Price,
which is also entered.
If the Contractor is to be paid a Price for an item proportional to the length of time for which a service is provided, a unit of
time is stated in the Unit column and the expected length of time (as a quantity of the stated units of time) is stated in the
Expected Quantity column.
