An Introduction to NEC Contracts for New Users

Introduction

As NEC contracts become increasingly widely used for procurement across the built environment in the UK and internationally, they are being adopted by many organisations and professionals who may be unfamiliar with their distinctive approach.

Unlike traditional standard forms of contract, NEC contracts place significant emphasis on proactive contract management and defined processes, making it essential for new users to understand their commercial and practical implications.

This session will introduce the key NEC processes and commercial issues, helping attendees select the most appropriate NEC contract strategy, understand the business implications of using the NEC suite and avoid the costly mistakes and disputes that can arise from choosing the wrong contract or failing to follow NEC procedures. Delegates will also receive practical guidance on selecting the right form of contract and implementing the processes needed to manage it successfully.
