The Importance of Using the National Schedule of Rates

The National Schedule of Rates is a vital component in procurement, offering a detailed list of pre-priced individual items and composite rates inclusive of labor, plant and material costs.

Here are some of the reasons why it’s important:

• Cost Predictability: By using Gordian’s up-to-date rates organisations can forecast expenses accurately, making budget management more straightforward. Essential for entities operating under tight financial constraints.
• Consistency and Transparency: Ensures consistent pricing across maintenance contracts. Reduces discrepancies and enables transparency required for public spend.
• Procurement Efficiency: Pricing works with Gordian rates saves you time and allows you to call off works instantly rather than waiting for works to be priced.
   

The Role of Measured Term Contracts

Clients who manage large portfolios of properties benefit from Gordian’s solutions. MTCQS combined with Gordian’s National Schedule of Rates reduces the administrative burdens and enhances efficiency during their Procurement Maintenance Works. The National Schedule of Rates is an integral part of a Measured Term Contract.

By using MTCQS you can have your procurement maintenance works processes all within one place, including the ability to attach files (such as drawings, images) to relevant tasks. MTCQS allows you to go through the journey from pricing your works to invoicing. Our software communicates via the client and contractor with its live dashboard, monitoring each contract and keeping you up-to-date with tasks, ensuring regular communication throughout your work.
