As a subcontractor working under NEC3 subcontract we were asked to provide a quote to get a previously approved specialist supplier to carry out works as a CE to our main subcontract which our main contractor did not want to undertake themselves. For our part we provided a direct quote from the specialist supplier with a standard fee on our part. No Risk was included for in the quotation. ( none was asked for by our main contractor)
Early in the works one of the specialist suppliers installation team made an error in one of its installations which was rectified with no damage to the infrastructure. However our Main contractor has since issued us with a contracharge to almost the full value of our fee for supply of an additional External CRE to oversee our specialist supplier under clause 25.2 failure to supervise.
Should the main Contractor not have asked us to allow for any risks commercial or otherwise in our quotation?
