OGC Two Point Three

The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) launched the new OGC Model ICT Services Agreement Version 2.3 on 6 August, replacing last year's Version 2.2.1. As was the case for Version 2.2.1, Version 2.3 has been the subject of extensive consultation with various groups, including Intellect and the Financial Distress Advisory Panel which was set up specifically to consider financial distress provisions of the model contract.

The OGC, due to time constraints, was unable to address all of the issues which it has been considering in Version 2.3. For an overview of what we might see in Version 2.4, some of the key highlights and more detail, read Wragge & Co's analysis.
