ExP Contact with DD - don't even know if he's going to turn up

My DDs father is supposed to be coming to the UK next week to spend his yearly 2 weeks with her before taking her overseas for 4 weeks. Despite the courts telling me I have to play ball with him over this contact (I've never done anything to prevent contact between them), he hasn't even contacted me to say whether or when he's coming, what the travel arrangements are, when he wants to see her prior to going overseas. He insists on communication through a solicitor so I decided to put together a timetable of all the things DD has organised for herself over the course of next 2 weeks and for him to let me know when he'd like to see her on the other days. Nothing. I suspect he'll accuse me of trying to control when he can see her but that's not the case, I'm trying to be pragmatic and practical given I'll be the one who has to organise alternative care if he just doesn't turn up. I work full-time and can't just drop everything. What would you do?

Well, DD has just had final phone call with her father prior to him supposedly travelling to UK. No mention whatsoever that he's coming or when. She asked him the question but he avoided answering. I have to comply with a court order and he can please his bloody self. Not fair on DD or me.
