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.
