Reform of Public Works Contracts for the Construction of Transport Infrastructure: Discussion

Mr. Paul Sheridan:

For future contracts, adopting the NEC or FIDIC-type model can be done for new contracts. Obviously, there is privacy of contract. However, the Government has shown innovation in terms of dealing with the Covid situation and introducing mechanisms to deal with that. I understand it may be considering other such mechanisms to deal with existing contracts in respect of inflation, but it would be difficult to adopt an NEC for an existing contract.
