For client-side NEC leaders
The reference data your supply chain can’t argue with.
Client-side commercial and project teams negotiate every day against a supply chain that has more market data than they do. NECCLAUSE provides defensible reference data, sector-cut benchmarks, and the methodology to use them in framework, programme and dispute conversations.
Where the work breaks
The pain we hear about most.
- ·Negotiating settlement positions without an outside reference for what reasonable looks like.
- ·PM teams under-resourced relative to the contractor’s commercial bench. Asymmetry shows up in clause-64 outcomes.
- ·Supplier disputes escalating because the early-warning route was treated as a formality on both sides.
- ·Audit and NAO scrutiny asking for evidence of methodology, not just outcomes.
When teams reach for us
The buying trigger.
- ·A programme overrun triggers a post-mortem that asks how reasonable was defined.
- ·A new framework procurement cycle needs an evidenced position on Option choice and pain/gain.
- ·Engagement with the IPA or NAO surfaces a request for outcome data the team doesn’t have.
- ·Large CE settlements need defensible reference points before they reach the Audit Committee.
Why us, not the obvious alternative
Internal Best Practice teams and IPA Lessons-Learned are useful but slow. They synthesise after the fact. NECCLAUSE provides operating data and tooling in real time — the Benchmark you can cite this quarter, not the lessons-learned report you read next year.
What you get
Three things that move the number.
01
Sector-cut benchmark data
From v0.1, anonymised CE volumes, time-to-assessment, dispute and adjudication rates by sector and Option. k-anonymity ≥10 floor; methodology published in advance.
02
Programme-level dashboards (Team tier)
Multiple PMs, multiple programmes, single executive view. Compare against the aggregate without leaving the workflow.
03
Methodology for procurement and dispute prep
Defensible position frameworks for Option choice, pain/gain reconciliation, and large-CE settlement governance.
