I see quite a few examples of very poor tender documents indeed - both in terms of conditions of contract (Contract Data with z clauses) and the brief (Works Information). The z clause part of the document is often very extensive indeed, to the point of wondering why bother using an NEC3 Contract at all. Apart from tackling this, I'm curious as to what users think is a realistic and sensible split of time/cost spent between preparing lets say z clauses against the Works Information, assuming NEC3 ECC is the contract chosen.
Although each contract/project has its own constraints/risks etc, I believe the intelligent client should probably spend 10 or 20 times more time/cost on producing a high quality, clear and comprehensive Works Information as opposed to z clauses. I sense the reverse is often too - that has to be madness!
What do you think?
