NHS Lanarkshire requires an NEC4 Supervisor with clerk of works duties for the Monklands Replacement Project (MRP). The main contract is a design and build NEC4 ECC contract and there is the potential for up to two other NEC4 ECC contracts all forming part of the same project. Initially, the service is needed for the Enabling Works, and services for the Main Works contract will be required once FBC is approved. There might also be a roadworks contract during the period of the main works contract. Enabling Works are expected to start April 2025. On FBC, the Main Works Contract will commence. There is expected to be a programme overlap of the Enabling Works and the Main Works. Although work on the site will commence in 2025, the NEC4 Supervisor with clerk of works duties is expected to join the team once appointed, and contribute to the Works Scope and the test/inspection regime in particular. The Consultant, from appointment, is expected to input on drawings and the Works Scope under the contract and to engage relevant to NEC4 Supervisor’s duties at an early stage. The NEC4 Supervisor is expected to continue with its service until the Main Works defects date, which will be 2 years after the completion of the new hospital in 2030/2031. The Consultant is expected to be experienced in healthcare projects and will be an integral part of the project team.
