I have an issue where our client is waiting for their end client to assess a CE which originated from us as a Contractor. This CE resulted from an instruction to complete additional works and has not been assessed in the 2 week time frame. In my assessments for payment the PQS certifies works done but not the CE as they have not yet responded to it ( which is because their client have not yet assessed it or agreed it). How do I contractually get them to 1) assess it and pay it or 2) get it paid in the next valuation due to the PM taking longer then the prescribed timescale. I can't find a clause which give consequence if my client does not accept or reject my quotation within the 2 weeks? Help. I'm technically on a paid when paid or paid when price agreed up stream situation surely there must be recourse under the contract to prevent this? Thanks
