1.1

The Overriding Principle
The Overriding Principle guiding the Purchaser and the Supplier in the
operation of the Contract is that of collaboration: it is their intention
to work together with each other and with all other Project Participants
in a co-operative and collaborative manner in good faith and in the spirit
of mutual trust and respect. To this end the Purchaser and the Supplier
agree they will each give to, and welcome from, the other, and the other
Project Participants, feedback on performance and will draw each other’s
attention to any difficulties and will share information openly, at the
earliest practicable time. They will support collaborative behaviour and
confront behaviour that does not comply with the Overriding Principle.

1.2
|
Composition of the Project Team
The initial members of the Project Team will comprise the Client and
those Suppliers who are considered by the Client to be of key importance
for the successful design, construction and management of the delivery
of the Project. The Project Team members may, from time to time, invite
other Project Participants to join the Project Team and/or to change the
composition of the Project Team, in each case following consultation with
the other Project Team members at that time. If the individual members
are unable to reach agreement on any proposed changes in the composition
of the Project Team, the Client shall decide.
|
1.3
|
Role of the Project Team
The role of the Project Team is to guide the successful delivery of
the Project through its design and construction. The Project Team will
meet at regular intervals to share information relating to the Project,
to consider the risks and opportunities affecting the Project and how
best to co-ordinate and manage the Project.
|
1.4
|
Drawing up of a project protocol
If engaged as a member of the Project Team, the Purchaser will, together
with the other members of the Project Team, draw up and adopt a project
protocol setting out the aims and objectives of the Project Team with
regard to the delivery of the Project and the development of their working
relationships.
|
1.5
|
Signatories to, and display of, the project protocol
The project protocol will be signed by a senior representative of each
member of the Project Team and copies of the signed project protocol will
be prominently displayed at the places for work of all the members of
the Project Team, on the Site and in accommodation on, or serving, the
Site.
|
1.6
|
Status of the project protocol
The provisions of the project protocol will not create any contractual
obligation and any failure to adhere to its terms will not of itself constitute
any breach of this Contract.
|
1.7
|
Effect of the Overriding Principle
In the event of any dispute between the parties and/or the members of
the Project Team, any court or adjudicator or other forum to which the
dispute is referred shall take account of the Overriding Principle and
of the parties’ adherence to it when making any award.
