TECSA’s Adjudication Service

TECSA provides a broad range of adjudication services to its members and their clients:

• Since 2009, TECSA has operated its own high quality adjudication service for disputes of all values. Our service has constantly evolved to reflect changes to relevant legislation and industry needs
• TECSA maintains a multi-disciplinary list of experienced adjudicators, many of whom are trained by TECSA, who are subjected to periodic assessments. The Chairman, or her designated deputies, make nominations from this list
• It has successfully launched a Low Value Disputes (LVD) Adjudication Service for claims for payment of up to £100,000. Following a successful pilot in 2019, it is now an important new facet in TECSA’s Adjudication offering
• The LVD Adjudication Service is aimed at giving parties who wish to refer disputes to adjudication certainty as to the costs of the Adjudicator for claims for fixed amounts of up to £100,000 (excluding VAT and interest). It limits the fees which the Adjudicator can charge. See Summary of TECSA LVD Service for the criteria below.
