Preconstruction Services Agreement (Pcsa)
PCS are often used in design and construction projects in order to obtain early contributions from the contractor. They can also be used to obtain advances of work from specialists appointed either by the contractor or by the client (e.g. B under a construction management contract), either for private finance initiative (PFI) or public-private partnership (PPP) projects to obtain contributions from contractors for a consortium applying for a project. A well-drafted statement of intent gives the employer and contractor a legal framework within which the contractor can start working (and be paid for it). In addition, the employer usually only agrees to pay for this work up to a certain amount until the final agreement of the construction contract is concluded. Elsewhere, there are standard obligations regarding competence and diligence, prohibited materials, insurance, confidentiality and cooperation with the project team. The copyright license is subject to a fee. However, the CAAP does not cover pre-war services, which are generally project-specific and must have the opportunity to work in different circumstances, either with traditional purchases or with design and construction purchases. The CAAP will be used in a two-stage tendering procedure to cover the designation of a contractor to provide “intermediate work” during the period following the first phase of tenders and prior to the award of the main final contract. For a “specialist”, the PCSA/SP for the supply of preconstruction If we consider things from the point of view of a contractor, this distinction is highlighted: in the context of a memorandum of understanding, a contractor simply fulfills his role under the construction contract, before the conclusion of this contract; under a PCSA, a contractor provides services outside the scope of a typical construction contract – the contractor advises the employer as part of the acquisition process.
The YCW contract is in two variants. The “General Contractor” form is intended to entrust a prime contractor with the mandate to carry out intermediate work. The “Specialist” version is appropriate when an employer or contractor intends to use a consultant or subcontractor. A construction contract is an operating contract under a two-stage tendering procedure. Two-stage tendering is more often used in larger or more complex projects and involves the employer recognising the project on the basis of an incomplete design, price and programme developed by the employer`s professional team. A contractor is then chosen to cooperate with the employer on the basis of its proposal for the second phase of the tender (before construction). In a two-stage tender, the employer selects a preferred contractor through a call for tenders during the first phase of design development. Tenderers submit a proposal for a fixed fee for intermediate works, a statement of programme and methodology, but instead of being a lump sum price for the construction phase, this is a tender only with regard to overheads, profits and advances.
