There is no point in putting in a quotation if the PM does not agree it is one as they will not bother to do anything with the quote (and are not contractually obliged to). If you are using one of the cloud based communication tools such as FastDraft it will stop this from happening as the Contractor would not be able to put in a quotation if the PM has not agreed it is a CE and requested one.
The effort should be in beefing up the argument as to why the Contractor thinks it is a compensation event in the first place that will effect Defined Cost. If the PM does not agree - the contractual option is to take that matter to adjudication, or under NEC4 escalate to senior management.
