Project Background

Mantra Services was recently commissioned to provide pre-construction quantity surveying and commercial support services to a UK Contractor.

Under the engagement, our in-house resources completed a commercial and contractual review of a proposed contract to identify potential risks. These identified risks were then developed into a commercial risk register. 

Working closely with the client, we developed an action plan to negotiate out or accept and manage the identified risks. 

Once completed, we then provided the commercial support services for the client to implement the action plan for the project. 

The mitigation measures included us supporting the client during the negotiation process with the end user and developing their internal processes and contract administration functions to enable the accepted risk position to be managed. 

Project Challenges and Our Response

Specific challenges to this engagement were the onerous terms being offered by the end user.   

With our Directors having over 60 years working within the contracting environment and a working knowledge of the standard forms of UK construction contract, we understand the challenges and risks being passed onto contractors and sub-contractors alike. 

This capability is underpinned by our back office administrative support. Our staff are fully conversant with standard contract administrative forms and notices. This capability allows us to provide a fully supported service to our clients under this type of engagement.
