Clause 31.1

Programme Submission

Purpose

The Contractor submits a first programme for acceptance within the period stated in the Contract Data.

Practical Application

A compliant programme is essential for CE assessments. Without one, CE assessments are based on what a reasonable contractor would have planned.

Common Pitfalls

Late programme submission can delay CE entitlement. Submit within the required period even if not perfect.
