Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982

The Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 (c. 29) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which requires traders to provide services to a proper standard of workmanship ("with reasonable care and skill").

However, the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and its concomitant case law provided a number of guidelines.

Trebor Bassett Holdings Ltd v ADT Fire and Security, 2012, involved a contract for ADT to "the design, supply, install and commission a fire detection and suppression system for a popcorn factory" in Pontefract owned and operated by Trebor Bassett and Cadbury.

The Court held that ADT were asked to design a system to meet Bassett's specific fire safety requirements and therefore they were providing a service, for which there was a requirement to take reasonable care, but the design and supply of such a system did not constitute a "supply of goods" for the purpose of Part 1 of the Act.
