The New Engineering Contract: Ecc Option F: Management Contract

The New Engineering Contract (NEC) is a modern day family of standard contracts that truly embraces the concept of partnership and encourages employers, designers, contractors and project managers to work together to achieve the client's objectives. Each of the main options is printed as a separate document and contains the Core Clauses merged with the applicable main Option Clauses. Management contracting, where the works contracts are let between the management contractor and works contractor, is enacted by using Option F of the ECC. In it, design, construction and installation are expected to be subcontracted leaving the Contractor to concentrate on the management of the works.
