•  Step 2C - Develop Joint Working Practices

-  It is very likely that the Contract Processes and Liaison Events specified in the Contract, while setting out the principles, are insufficiently detailed to act as working practices that both the Authority and Contractor can use on a day-to-day basis.

-  Together with the Contractor develop joint working practices that supplement and give greater detail to process flow diagram created in Step 2B, in particular with respect to Contract Processes and Liaison Events.

-  The purpose of these working practices is not to alter or dilute the role, activities, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Contractor and the Authority, but is to ensure that the parties work together in a coherent and co-ordinated manner to ensure the success of the Contract.

-  These working practices should be mapped into the process flow diagram created under Step 2B, but should be separately colour coded to ensure that there remains clarity as to each party's contractual roles and responsibilities, see the example below:
