ABSTRACT

The Contractor provides additional insurances as stated in the Contract Data. Each NEC contract comprises core clauses, main option clauses, secondary clauses, cost components and subcontract data. The unique underlying approach to NEC contracting is that, rather than amending contracts, clauses are selected from the options so as to produce a contract tailored to the particular project. Currently, the NEC/ECC family of contracts comprises: NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC); NEC3 Engineering and Construction Short Contract (ECSC); NEC3 Professional Services Contract (PSC); NEC3 Term Service Contract (TSC); NEC3 Term Service Short Contract (TSSC); NEC3 Supply Contract (SC); NEC3 Supply Short Contract (SSC); and NEC3 Framework Contract (FC). As a matter of caution, and good contract management, the prudent contract should ask to see the relevant documents at renewal in any event. In contrast to clause 85.1, if the documents comply with the contract the contractor is bound to accept the same.
