Deliver projects with confidence using NEC Contracts
Expert guidance that helps you avoid delays, reduce costs, and manage risks.
What are NEC4 Contracts?
NEC Contracts are a family of collaborative problem-solving contracts suitable for a diverse range of works, services and supply. NEC is different. It is the only standard contract developed by project practitioners, not lawyers. This unique perspective ensures flexibility and tailored contracts to stimulate collaboration, transparency, and proactive management helping all parties work together more effectively and deliver successful outcomes.
Why choose NEC Contracts?
- Trusted across industry- NEC Contracts and training are used by central and local government, utilities, housing, manufacturing and many more, making them a go-to-choice for diverse forms of construction contracts.
- Clear and collaborative frameworks – contracts are designed to reduce disputes and cost overruns through clearly defined roles and the early warning system to manage risks proactively.
- Faster procurement – contracts simplify tendering and decision-making by aligning with modern project needs and streamlining the delivery of management contracts and service agreements.
- Endorsed by Government globally- with decades of proven success, NEC Contracts are recognised worldwide as reliable, high-performance dispute resolution contract frameworks.
- Support at every stage – from drafting to delivery, NEC experts and training options help your teams maximise value.
We chose NEC primarily to encourage a collaborative and cooperative approach within the project team but with clear lines of responsibility and governance. The NEC suite’s widespread use throughout the UK construction market was also a key consideration over other forms of contract, ensuring familiarity throughout the supply chain.
