The NEC contracts have a long history but are not as well known yet in continental Europe. The first modern NEC contract – then known as the ‘New Engineering Contract’ was published in 1993. It was a radical departure from existing building and engineering contracts, being written in plain language and designed to stimulate rather than frustrate good management.
The second edition, called the NEC Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC), appeared two years later. A decade of extensive international use followed, culminating in the development and launch of the NEC3 contract suite in 2005. The NEC3 suite has been endorsed by governments and industry worldwide and has an unrivalled track record for delivering projects on time and on budget – including the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games venues. Twelve years on and with several hundred billion pounds more procurement under its belt, the contract suite’s next evolution NEC4 contract suite was launched in 2017. In an ever more open, collaborative and fast-paced society the NEC4 contracts are more relevant than ever and as an engineering professional or mediator you cannot afford to remain in the dark on them.
