NEC suite replaces ICE CoC

Hi,

Reported in the Construction Index just is that the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) has formally transferred its part ownership of the ICE Conditions of Contract that it developed 66 years ago to the Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE) and the Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA). ACE and CECA have now launched a new standard suite of forms of contract based on the former ICE Conditions of Contract, called the Infrastructure Conditions of Contract.

In an age where we seem to be thankfully and at long last to be heading away from the Dark Ages and towards the post-Latham collaboration era, it will be interesting to see how the newly badged contract fares. Good luck to them, but presumably the upkeep/investment from ACE/CECA subscribing members will be justified and someone in the industry is actually crying out for this?
