Elective Services definition

What does Elective Services mean? Elective Services are optional services in pf2/PPP project agreements that the Authority may instruct Project Co (the contractor) to deliver, instead of providing them itself. They are typically listed in the services output specification with predefined scope, performance standards and pricing (for example, menu rates or unitary charge adjustments), allowing the Authority to order foreseeable, low‑risk service changes without invoking the full Change Protocol.

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
