Ministry of Defence – Contract terms and conditions
Aims
The aim is to promote a greater awareness of the MoD as a customer and
improve company contractual performance by providing the delegates with
a detailed understanding of the terms and conditions of contract used
by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD).
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module the delegates will have been afforded an
opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of the details of MoD
Standard and Special Terms & Conditions, assess commercial risk and
consider appropriate responses to these Ts & Cs within the boundary
conditions of company policy. The training will refresh the delegate's
knowledge and understanding of the rights and obligations enjoyed by
the contracting parties under English Contract Law, develop their
skills in reviewing the various forms of MoD contracts and assessing
the appropriateness; raise the delegates understanding of the
implications of contract terms and the associated risk; explore the
relationship between standard terms and special terms, consider the
migration from the standard terms of GC Stores 1 towards the broader
use of DEFCONS.
