NEC3 Term Service Contract (TSC)
|
This contract should be used for the appointment of a supplier to maintain a service or manage and provide a service. These services may include elements of design and relate to physical works or soft services such as facilities management. They may have discrete packages of project works; although where the bulk of the scope is about delivering a physical end product it may be appropriate to use the ECC/ECSC as an alternative. The TSC contains a call off facility.
