The ICC contracts are intended for use on civil engineering and infrastructure projects, and are intended to replace the ICE conditions of contract (which were previously used on engineering projects, prior to the introduction of the NEC forms). Partnering The main standard form contracts for partnering are: – Project Partnering Contract 2000 (PPC 2000) –– JCT Constructing Excellence In addition, JCT provides a non-binding partnering charter, and NEC3 also includes an option to incorporate partnering procedures into its standard form (although, unlike PPC2000, NEC does not provide a multi-party partnering contract). Other contractor forms There are a number of other significant forms available, for example: – GC/Works for government/public sector projects: these forms have not been revised for some time, and need amending to take account of current law – IMechE/IET model forms (MF/1): used specifically for mechanical and electrical works – – NFDC (National Federation of Demolition Contractors) : used for demolition works Consultant appointments The main providers are: RIBA –– RIBA Standard Agreement 2010 (2012 revision): Architect
–– RIBA Standard Agreement 2010 (2012 revision): Consultant –– RIBA Concise Agreement 2010 (2012 revision): Architect –– RIBA Domestic Project Agreement 2010 (2012 revision): Architect –– RIBA Sub-consultant Agreement 2010 (2012 revision) ACE –– ACE Agreement 1: Design –– ACE Agreement 2: Advise and Report –– ACE Agreement 3: Design and Construct –– ACE Agreement 4: Sub-consultancy There is also an ACE Short Form, published in 2015, and ACE Agreements 2009 edition, second revision: Amendment sheet (May 2015), which addresses changes required by the introduction of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (see Regulation below). NEC –– PSC: NEC3 Professional Services Contract, April 2013 edition –– PSSC: NEC3 Professional Services Short Contract, April 2013 edition NEC have published guidance on complying with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, but do not produce amendments, as the contract does not include express provisions dealing with specific legislation. If such a clause is required, it can be inserted as a bespoke ‘Z’ clause.
