Introduction
In a TSC contract it is often necessary for additional elements of work to be required that are linked or incidental to the rest of the service and better to be carried out by the same contractor.
The Task Order procedures are not designed to be used for very simple, reactive or emergency tasks, they are intended to be used for tasks that have a degree of complexity and/or risk that requires planning and management to ensure a successful outcome.
A Task is defined as "...work within the service which the Service Manager may instruct the Contractor to carry out within a stated period of time.".
