PROCUREMENT

Confused by different contract forms across countries or unsure which contract model best safeguards your project? 

We provide expert guidance in selecting and formulating the optimal contract for your project’s needs.  Whether it’s a Swedish AB 04, a Norwegian NS 8405, or international forms like NEC or FIDIC, we help you identify the appropriate contract structure that aligns with your project scope, risk profile, and regulatory environment. 

 Contract Form Evaluation: We analyze the options (FIDIC vs. NEC, AB 04 vs. ABT 06, etc.) and advise which standard form or bespoke contract will best serve your project’s goals and legal context.  

 Localisation & Compliance: We ensure the contract complies with local laws and industry practices, be it UK construction law, Swedish standard contract procedures, or EU regulations, so you can operate confidently across borders.   

Tailoring Contract Conditions: We customize special conditions and appendices to address project-specific risks or client requirements, ensuring no detail is overlooked.  

 Every clause in a contract can either protect you or pose a risk, are your contracts airtight? 

 Our experts draft clear, robust contracts and negotiate on your behalf to secure terms that protect your interests at every turn. 

 Custom Contract Drafting: We prepare contract agreements (in English and Scandinavian languages) tailored to your project, eliminating ambiguity and closing loopholes. Every provision is drafted with an eye toward preventing future disputes. 

 Contract Review & Risk Assessment: Already have a draft from the other party? We perform in-depth contract reviews to identify hidden risks, unfavorable clauses, or compliance gaps. Then we advise on modifications to protect you before you sign.  

 Negotiation Support: We act as your commercial advocate in negotiations, whether behind the scenes or at the table. With decades of experience in negotiation, we resolve deadlocks and push for terms that give you a clear advantage while maintaining positive relationships. 

Contracts that span countries come with complex legal requirements, we’ve got you covered.

Contract Nexus ensures your contracts meet all relevant legal and regulatory standards in each jurisdiction you operate in.  From UK Construction Act payment terms to Nordic general conditions, we make sure your contract is watertight and enforceable wherever it applies.

Regulatory Alignment: We incorporate country-specific clauses (such as EU regulations, UK statutory requirements, or local building regulations) so your contracts are fully compliant with local law.
Standard Practices: We adjust terminology and procedures in the contract to match local industry standards, for example, ensuring a Swedish “ABT 06” contract we draft follows Swedish procurement norms, or an NEC contract reflects the latest UK best practices.
Bilingual Documentation: If needed, we produce dual-language contract documents and ensure translations are accurate. All parties will understand their obligations, eliminating language barriers from causing confusion. 

Fluent in both UK and Scandinavian contract standards, from NEC4 early warnings to AB 04 change orders, we bridge the gap so nothing gets lost in translation.

A contract is only as good as its management. 

We ensure that once the ink is dry, you have the tools and knowledge to manage your contractual obligations and rights effectively. 

Contract Administration Plan: We develop a roadmap for contract administration (notification timelines, deliverables tracking, etc.) in line with the contract’s requirements (for example, setting up an NEC communications log or a claims register for a FIDIC contract).  

Training & Handover: We can train your project team on the specific contract provisions and processes, ensuring everyone knows “who must do what by when” under the contract. This prevents missteps that could compromise your rights.
