NEC3 Supply Contract Guidance Notes

The purpose of these guidance notes is to explain the background of the NEC3 Supply Contract, the reasons for its provisions and to provide clear yet comprehensive guidance on how to use it.

Construction Clients’ Board endorsement of NEC3

The Construction Clients’ Board (formerly Public Sector Clients’ Forum) recommends that public sector organisations use the NEC3 contracts when procuring construction.

Standardising use of this comprehensive suite of contracts should help to deliver efficiencies across the public sector and promote behaviours in line with the principles of Achieving Excellence in Construction.
