NEC has released the latest set of secondary Option clauses developed specifically for use in Singapore, supporting the implementation of NEC4 Facilities Management Contract (FMC) in the region. This latest development builds upon NEC’s earlier publication of Y clauses for the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract in 2024.
The Y(SG) clauses have been produced in collaboration with the Singapore Building and Construction Authority (BCA) to ensure that NEC contracts align with Singapore’s legal and regulatory framework. They allow users to apply NEC4 contracts in compliance with important local legislation, including the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2004 if it applies, the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 2001, and relevant provisions concerning anti-corruption requirements.
BCA Deputy CEO (Industry Development) Mr. Tan Chee Kiat said, “The FM sector is evolving rapidly. In Singapore, we are seeing a clear shift towards longer-term contracts and integrated services. To better manage change and uncertainties in project delivery, these additional clauses for NEC4 FMC, tailored for Singapore's context, mark an important step forward. They provide our industry with a practical framework for collaborative contracting, which is essential as FM services become more complex and integrated. We believe this will help drive stronger partnerships and more efficient project delivery in Singapore's FM sector, supporting our vision for a more sustainable and future-ready built environment."
These Y Clauses are intended to help clients, contractors, and project teams use NEC4 contracts with confidence in Singapore. NEC would like to thank Pinsent Masons and the NEC4 Contract Board for their expert support and contributions to this release.
