The compensation event quotation has to go in and we've never built one
NEC wants it in a form and to a deadline, and this is the first time.
What's happening?
NEC runs changes through compensation events, and the quotation is where the money gets decided: the cost effect built from the contract's own cost components rather than from your usual rates, assumptions stated, submitted to a deadline the contract polices. A first quotation assembled from guesswork tends to be rejected or assessed for you - and the project manager's own assessment is rarely the number you hoped for.
The discipline is knowing what the form wants before the event lands: the build-up in the contract's shape, the assumptions recorded, the deadline diarised the day the event is notified. The template holds that shape; the pricing service is the next step when the event is big enough that the first attempt shouldn't also be the learning experience.
The solution
The quotation in their form, built before the deadline crowds it.
If you would rather it were done for you, Variation Pricing is the service that does it.
