Assistance to the Authority Sample Clauses
The "Assistance to the Authority" clause requires one party, typically a contractor or service provider, to support and cooperate with a governing authority in the performance of its duties. This may involve providing information, access to personnel or premises, or other forms of help as requested by the authority during the course of a project or contract. The core function of this clause is to ensure that the authority can effectively oversee, monitor, or regulate the contracted activities, thereby promoting transparency and compliance with legal or contractual obligations.
Assistance to the Authority. 2.1 Without limiting the provisions of the Specification or any other terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Service Provider shall (and shall ensure that the subcontractor and the Temporary Workers shall) provide to the Authority such information, assistance, access, attendance of personnel and co-operation as the Authority may reasonably require from time to time:
2.1.1 to enable the Authority to meet its obligations to provide audited accounts, reports and returns pursuant to regulations, directions or guidance applicable to the Authority or as required by external agencies;
2.1.2 to answer enquiries (including from government bodies, the general public, members or officials of the Authority, Parliament and Members of Parliament, and third parties entitled to request or receive information from the Authority); and
2.1.3 for any investigation by a relevant agency, body or ombudsman (and without limiting any other of the Authority’s rights or remedies, the Authority shall be entitled to recover from the Service Provider any payment ordered or required to be paid by the Authority under such investigation which arises because of a direct or indirect breach of the Agreement or a Contract or a negligent act or omission of the Service Provider or subcontractor or a Temporary Worker).
2.2 The above information, assistance, access, attendance of personnel and co-operation shall be provided at no additional charge to the Authority.

8.1.1 to enable the Authority to meet its obligations to provide audited accounts, reports and returns pursuant to regulations, directions or guidance applicable to the Authority or as required by external agencies;
8.1.2 to answer enquiries (including from government bodies, the general public, members or officials of the Authority, Parliament and Members of Parliament, and third parties entitled to request or receive information from the Authority); and
8.1.3 for any investigation by a relevant agency, body or ombudsman (and without limiting any other of the Authority’s rights or remedies, the Authority shall be entitled to recover from the Service Provider any payment ordered or required to be paid by the Authority under such investigation which arises because of a direct or indirect breach of the Contract or a negligent act or omission of the Service Provider, a Secondary Supplier (or other authorised subcontractor) or a Temporary Worker [or potential Permanent Worker prior to Engagement ]).
