ABSTRACT

The Property Advisers to the Civil Estate (PACE) published the suite of Government Conditions of Contract (GC Works) through The Stationery Office between 1973 and 2002. The GC Works contracts were primarily developed for government projects but could also be used for private sector projects. It is similar in structure to its immediate predecessor and even uses the same numbers for most of the conditions. The contractor's proposals will be submitted as part of the tender together with a programme, a pricing document and details of professional indemnity insurance. The factual details relating to a particular contract, and the incorporation of optional provisions, will be determined by how the abstract of particulars is completed. The abstract is detailed and, among other things, requires the names of the project manager and planning supervisor to be inserted.
