If there is a delay to Contract Award - the effects of this should be agreed and ant dates revised accordingly BEFORE the contract is signed. Technically, this is not a compensation event as it is not in the list within 60.1. I have seen by agreement that it is dealt with as a CE but then that will be subject to PM assessment, so much better it is agreed mutually before the contract is signed.
Nothing wrong with having Completion Date "X" weeks after starting date, but much better to have both defined as if starting date is not defined and it is just a contract period, the price will depend upon which month they start in as it may be worse or better weather.
