Network Rail change control is supported through its P3e programme and Oracle Projects and will require data and documentation to be presented by the Contractor in a form compatible with input requirements.

All changes to a contract work scope, standards, specifications or conditions are to be quantified and controlled as Change Requests (CR). unless covered by the risk log and included as contractors Risk e.g. minor possession changes , please see Risk Management process which defines risk in greater detail.

Where there is any discrepancy between this procedure and specific Contract provisions, the conditions of Contract shall take precedence.
