The Authority sought a supplier to provide a 'Commercial of the shelf' (COTS), 'Software as a Service' (SaaS), solution that also had the capability and expertise to manage all standard requirements of New Engineering Contract (NEC) model services, NEC3 and NEC4 contract forms, processes, clauses and roles promoted under NEC ways of working across the Defra Group.
The supplier will provide full implementation, transition, data migration support, initial and ongoing training with initial/ongoing technical support and all necessary system maintenance, including upgrades, throughout the contract term.

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 was sought to enable consistency and improved ways of working across the Authority group.

Renewal: The initial contract term shall be 5 years with the potential for 1 + 1 + 1 years in extension periods.
