## Summary

The Ministry of Defence recently completed a procurement process titled "NEC3 Advice", which falls under the business services industry, specifically related to law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. This procurement, conducted through a selective method as a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Construction and Associated Works framework, involved a contract value of £40,001. The contract period spanned from 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021, with the award date recorded on 31st March 2020 and the details published on 3rd November 2021. The location for the delivery addresses is the United Kingdom.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in legal consulting and construction advisory services, particularly those experienced in updating contractual frameworks in compliance with current policies, including sustainability and payment terms. Firms with expertise in NEC contracts, as well as those capable of providing tailored legal support for defence infrastructure projects, could find a competitive advantage in this and similar future tenders from the Ministry of Defence, thereby enhancing their market presence and stimulating business growth.

## Notice

Defence Infrastructure Organisation will be using Crown Commercial Services Construction and Associated Works(CWAS) framework for most MOD's construction requirements over the next seven years. The MOD's current NEC3 Option A call-off template needs to be updated and the drafting of an additional NEC option C call-off is also required. External legal assistance to CWAS is required to ensure both templates provide adequate legal protections for MOD users and adherence to current policies in areas including sustainability, BIM and Payment terms.
