Thomas Telford Expands Collaborative Contract Suite with FAC‑1 & TAC‑1 alongside NEC4
Thomas Telford Ltd (the commercial arm of the Institution of Civil Engineers) has expanded the suite of collaborative contracts by adding the Framework Alliance Contract (FAC‑1) and Term Alliance Contract (TAC‑1) alongside NEC4. NEC Contracts stated that:
“What FAC-1 and TAC-1 bring to NEC users
- A purpose-built framework alliance option – FAC-1 aligns clients, suppliers and advisers around shared goals, clear communication and continuous learning across multiple projects.
- A versatile term-maintenance model – TAC-1 helps long-term alliances drive better value, including integration with BIM and other digital tools.
- Proven performance – FAC-1 is strongly recommended in the UK Government’s Construction Playbook and, together with TAC-1, has already underpinned programmes worth more than £45 billion worldwide.”
Both FAC-1 and TAC-1 will be available to purchase alongside the existing NEC4 Suite of contracts.
