NEC4 has introduced deemed acceptances into the short contracts that were missing in NEC3. You are also correct that the short contracts do not have a separate implementation section. So at the point they do not respond then it is deemed accepted. Clause 63.10 then confirms that if the Contractors quote is treated as accepted (i.e. deemed accepted) then the assessment of that quote is not revised except as stated in the contract i.e. implemented under ECC language.
