The NEC Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) (previously the New Engineering Contract) has been developed to meet the current and future needs for a form of contract to be used in engineering and construction generally, which is an improvement on existing standard contracts in a number of ways.

In our last Alert, we assessed the philosophy of the NEC Engineering and Construction Contract ("NEC3") against the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for EPC/Turnkey Projects ("FIDIC Silver"), with a view to assessing its suitability for high value, large-scale international projects.

The Engineering and Construction Contract (NEC3) and FIDIC Conditions of Contract for EPC/Turnkey Projects (FIDIC Silver) are both popular standard forms of engineering and construction contract, used on a variety of projects both in the UK and internationally.
