This guidance is based on, and refers extensively to, the WIDP Contract. However it is not a complete summary of the provisions set out in the WIDP Contract and in the event of any inconsistency between this guidance and the WIDP Contract, the latter should be taken as WIDP's position on contractual terms.
Contract Managers may find it helpful to refer to Appendix A to check where aspects of the WIDP Contract are dealt with in this guidance.
Any descriptions in this guidance of the processes in the WIDP Contract are not intended to be a complete statement of those processes. Contract Managers should ensure that the Contract Management Manual refers to the actual provisions within the Contract rather than providing an abbreviated version of the WIDP Contract, which might be misconstrued as a statement of the relevant contractual provisions.
