The Construction Clients' Board
The Construction Clients' Board (formerly Public Sector Construction Clients' Forum) recommends that public sector organisations use the NEC3 contracts when procuring construction. Standardising use of this comprehensive suite of contracts should help to deliver efficiencies across the public sector and promote behaviours in line with the principles of Achieving Excellence in Construction.
In addition to this endorsement, NEC is recommended by the South African Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) for use in that country. NEC3 was praised in the recent UK Parliamentary 'Construction Matters' report, which calls for transparent and non-adversarial forms of contract to support integrated supply chains. The report states that NEC3 is 'setting the benchmark' in this area.
Crown Commercial Services will be using the NEC3 Term Service Contract as their new FM Model Contract and welcomes the ‘NEC for FM’ initiative between BIFM and NEC to provide guidance and support good practice in FM public sector procurement.
