Dispute Resolution Process

Costain Oil Gas & Process Limited actively seeks to resolve disputes by discussing them with the relevant supplier(s), typically involving members of the relevant project’s supply chain, procurement or commercial teams and the relevant accounts or accounts payable team. Where necessary members of management will be involved. Where it is not possible to reach agreement, usually on entitlement in relation to subcontracts, a number of potential dispute resolution methods may be used, most commonly, mediation or adjudication. If it remains impossible to reach agreement, the items may go to litigation.
