A consultation is now open on the new NEC4 Alliance Contract, giving industry the chance to provide feedback 'on the future of collaborative working'.
NEC has released the consultation draft of the new NEC4 Alliance Contract to 'ensure its tailored and integrated risk and reward model approach meets the needs of the industry'.
Aligned with the Government Construction Strategy and its commitment to Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Soft Landings, NEC4 has been designed to boost collaboration.
The Alliance Contract has been targetted at those seeking to fully integrate the entire supply team for large complex projects into a single collaborative contract.
Ian Heaphy, NEC4 contract board member, explains: 'The NEC4 Alliance Contract will support those clients who wish to take a step forward by fully integrating their delivery team on a single contract – for all members of the supply chain, including the client.
'Working on a performance based contract - with shared risks, shared responsibilities and aligned objectives - the members of the Alliance work together as an integrated team, where an alliance board manages the alliance on behalf of the members.
'Any decisions of the alliance board need to be unanimous making this a truly collaborative approach.'
The consultation will close on 30th November 2017.
