7.21.1 The Authority will be responsible for the actions of the Authority Service Provider. Although there is no provision for joinder in the Contract (see Section 34, (Disputes)), where an Authority has contracted with a strong, credit-worthy Authority Service Provider and it wants that Authority Service Provider to be responsible for any delays to the Works and/or Service Failures then the Authority may wish to extend the written joinder provisions of Clause 34.2 of Section 34 (Disputes) to that Authority Service Provider. Alternatively, the Authority may wish to enlarge the scope and purpose of any applicable Interface Protocol to create a binding agreement which allows the Contractor to take direct action against the Authority Service Provider and vice versa without the need to involve the Authority.
