The terms and conditions of the DPS appointment cannot be changed, for example, all mandatory requirements (insurances etc.) must be met. These T&Cs are set at a CCS commercial agreement level and subject to government policies, for example, the requirement to hold a Carbon Reduction Plan if you plan to bid for projects of £5million + However, clients (Buyers) using the RM6242 framework will issue a set of T&Cs for each call-off contract. CCS offer a number of forms of contract to our clients, for RM6242, Buyers can choose to apply the Public Sector Contract, NEC3, NEC4 or JCT forms of contract to their project. Although Buyers may occasionally make minor amendments or add special terms, the contract documents should not be subject to change. This is to ensure the forms of contract remain industry standard for the benefit of both Buyers and suppliers.

The term 'service heading' is relating to the high level technical or professional service you are providing, such as Architectural and Design services / Civil and Structural Engineering services etc. If you only select one high level heading, such as Architectural and Design services, you need to provide one contract example. If you choose multiple high level headings, two contract examples are required.
