(a)  take all proper and reasonable steps to minimise the costs and expenses incurred and the duration and impact of a Compensation Event and, during the operating phase, continue to use reasonable endeavours to provide temporary measures during any period of suspension; and

(b)  provide evidence that it has used reasonable endeavours (including, where practicable, the use of competitive quotes) to ensure that its sub-contractors minimise increases in costs and maximise any reduction in costs.
