NHS Standard Contract technical guidance

The NHS Standard Contract Technical Guidance offers advice about general contracting issues, about how key sections of the Contract should be completed, and how the main contract management processes should be used in practice.  Appendix 1 goes through the different elements of the Particulars on a line-by-line basis, describing what each is for and how each should be completed. Appendix 5 of the Technical Guidance is the escalation form for the escalation process, which is set out in SC29 of the Contract and explained further in s42 of the Technical Guidance.
