Following on from the last course on main options A and B, we now turn to look at main options C, D and E.
Main options C and D are the target cost options for the ECS form. They are split by the method of pricing. Option C uses an activity schedule (akin to option A) and option D uses a bill of quantities (akin to option B).
Option E is a full cost reimbursable contract where the Subcontractor is paid based on actual cost plus a fee.
There are a number of similarities across these options and each option has its own subsection of the module. To give a complete picture of each option and to allow for ease of reference should you need it in the future, some elements may be repeated in the different subsections.
