The Project Manager has not replied to my notification

Contractor side: Compensation events

I notified a compensation event over a week ago and the PM has said nothing. Is it accepted now?

Where the contract stands

Not yet. Silence alone does nothing. Clause 61.4 gives the Project Manager a week to reply; once that has passed you can notify the failure, and if there is still no reply two weeks later the event is treated as accepted and quotations as instructed. Giving that notice is your choice.

Read the guide: PM no reply to a compensation event

This is our plain-English summary, not legal advice. Your own contract, including any Z clauses, decides.

In Contract Status, step by step

  1. See what is overdue

    Your Action List shows what is waiting on you and, on the Other Companies tab, what you are waiting for. The registers and the record itself show Overdue once the reply date has passed.

  2. Give notice that the reply is late

    Open the notification. A banner explains what the contract allows and what happens next, with a button for the notice and an optional note. Contract Status shows when you can give it. It never gives it for you.

  3. Record deemed acceptance when the time runs out

    If there is still no reply when the further period ends, either side can record it. The banner then gives the deadline that was missed, who recorded it and when your quotation is due.

    A compensation event marked deemed accepted with the date the notice ran out and the date the quotation is due

    CE-0006 after the notice ran out: deemed accepted, no price agreed yet.

  4. Quote

    The event now shows Add Quotation as your next step. Deemed acceptance of the event does not agree a price: that still goes through a quotation.

    The next step is the main button on the record.

What happens next on the other side

The Project Manager sees the same record with their own wording: the reply is overdue, what the notice means, and a Reply button. They are still able to reply until the period runs out. If your administrator has switched overdue alerts on, both sides are told in the bell when the reply goes overdue.
