Abstract

Investment in sovereign projects is one of the government’s key instruments in driving economic growth in the public sector. These sovereign projects often encounter issues due to a poorly defined scope provided in the contract document. Contractors found potential for ambiguous interpretation of clauses in general, particular conditions, specifications, technical drawings, and BOQ. In the contract implementation, several repetitive demands for variation orders and contract amendments were made due to the discrepancies in the site conditions. Disputes over strategic and high-value projects involving foreign entities and claims of millions of dollars may end up in the Singapore court, particularly those involving claims of millions of dollars. The relevant ministries need to build a database of lessons learned from various sectors to improve future project initiatives. A lesson learned is a source of knowledge about what works for the improvement of future contract documents.
