For UK NEC contractors
Stop leaking margin on compensation events.
Tier-1 contractors lose more margin to disputed CEs, late notifications and weak adjudication-readiness than to any other commercial discipline. NECCLAUSE is the operating layer that closes the leak.
Where the work breaks
The pain we hear about most.
- ·Compensation events disputed monthly. Margin leak via late notification and thin causation narratives.
- ·Claim narratives torn apart in adjudication because contemporaneous records didn’t exist or didn’t hold up.
- ·Junior staff making clause 60.1 calls without a defensible methodology behind them.
- ·PM assessments under clause 64 going unchallenged because the response-window is too short to mobilise.
When teams reach for us
The buying trigger.
- ·A high-profile adjudication loss prompts a commercial-systems review.
- ·New programme onboarding — the team needs a CE methodology that doesn’t depend on the senior person being in the room.
- ·Group commercial function mandates a consistent NEC playbook across multiple business units.
- ·A regulator or client audit asks how compensation events are tracked and assessed.
Why us, not the obvious alternative
“We use CEMAR / our own templates” is the most common response. Both still apply. NECCLAUSE is agnostic to the contract management system you run. It provides the methodology layer above the workflow, and the only outside reference data — the Benchmark — that lets you negotiate against what reasonable looks like.
What you get
Three things that move the number.
01
CE Tracker + Narrative Library
A single register from trigger date through clause-64 PM assessment, with the narrative skeleton attached to each row. Drafted from live event records.
02
Adjudication-readiness loop
A ten-day discipline on every clause-64 assessment. Templates, response framework, and a TCC-enforcement-aware default position.
03
Benchmark cuts you can cite
From Month 12, anonymised CE volumes and time-to-assessment data by Option and sector. Defensible reference points for negotiations and dispute narratives.
