We are planning to put the contract extension for the 2014 Standard Civil Contract announced in May 2017 in to effect by 31 July.
Supporting contract schedules will also be issued to cover the period from 1 August through to 31 March 2018 at the same time.
Timings
The new contract and schedules will be uploaded and available to view by 31 July 2017. Work completed in July can be reported from 1 August 2017.
A new schedule reference should be used for any claims for matters that start on or after 1 August 2017.
As a result of loading the new schedules it is possible that when you report the work completed in June 2017 you will see two periods for entry in your submissions list.
This means it is important that you report your work for the correct period. Otherwise, the information may be recorded inaccurately.
If an agreed amendment to increase your new matter starts has not been included, you should contact your contract manager.
