The Term Service Contract is intended to be used for the appointment of a contractor for a fixed period of time to manage and provide a service. The service can be continuous or managed on a Task Order basis or a mix of both. It is ideal for infrastructure maintenance and operation of facilities.
This document contains the core clauses, the three main option clauses, secondary option clauses and contract data forms.
The Facilities Management Board of the UK Cabinet Office recognises that the NEC3 Term Services Contracts support good practice in FM Procurement in the public sector. BIFM also supports the NEC3 Term Service Contracts.
The SA National Treasury Standard for Infrastructure Procurement and Delivery Management has, with the exception of the NEC3 Framework Contract (a head contract), endorsed the NEC3 family of contracts for use by organs of state in South Africa to serve their infrastructure needs.
The NEC3 family of contracts support a wide range of procurement strategies which can lead to improved project outcomes and in so doing realise value for money.
