Intermediate Named Sub-Contract (comprising ICSub/NAM/IT, ICSub/NAM/T, ICSub/NAM/A, and ICSub/NAM/C)

Appropriate:

  • for use where the main contract is the Intermediate Building Contract or Intermediate Building Contract with contractor's design; and
  • where the Sub-Contractor is 'Named' to carry out sub-contract works, whether or not they include design.

Can be used:

  • where the sub-contract works and/or main contract works are to be carried out in sections; and
  • for sub-contract works that are to be carried out on the basis of an adjusted sub-contract sum (adjustment for variations etc.) or by complete remeasurement.


Not suitable:

  • unless the Sub-Contractor is 'Named' in the main contract or under its provisions;
  • for any sub-contract work that forms a part of the contractor's designed portion.


Consider:

using an Intermediate Named Sub-Contractor/Employer Agreement (ICSub/NAM/E) in conjunction with the Intermediate Named Sub-Contract (see the Intermediate Building Contract Guide (IC/G)) where:

  • the Named Sub-Contractor is to carry out design work or to procure or fabricate materials or goods prior to letting of the main contract; and/or
  • the Employer:
    • requires undertakings from the Named Sub-Contractor in respect of the sub-contract works and any related design work which he is to carry out; and/or
    • requires the Named Sub-Contractor to give Collateral Warranties to purchasers/tenants and/or any funder of the main contract works or relevant part(s) of them.
