I am involved in a project under NEC Short contract which had an initial programme of 31 weeks. The contract was tendered for in October 2016 and awarded in April 2017. Due to a series of client delays the contract has been delayed for 32 weeks and as a consequence the specialist sub-contractor's for M&E works will not "stick" to their tendered prices with some of the costs increasing by up to 25%.
The Contractor has notified the Employer of this although has not issued formal Early warning notices.
Are there any possible options under the contract, to allow the Contractor additional costs as a result of the Employer delays?
