Contract is Option A. The Contractor has several staff who are employed full time within the Working Area. A Compensation Event occurs which involves several of these full time staff working on the CE (eg additional planning time and supervision on site). The staff are not paid overtime and there is no impact on the programme.
Can the Contractor include time for these staff in his quote for the CE? There is no increase in his Defined Cost, but the Employer has increased the scope of the work he wants the Contractor to do and therefore reduces the opportunity for these staff to be utilised elsewhere in the business if available through efficiencies in working practice etc?
Reviewing similar questions on here there seems to be more than one school of thought!
Thanks.
