As the UK government continues to push for "The Construction Playbook" standards, collaborative contracting and alliancing models are becoming the preferred route for major infrastructure projects. This SCL Leicester seminar examines the legal frameworks that support integrated project teams and "no-blame" cultures. Moving away from the traditional adversarial model, this session looks at how legal drafting can incentivize performance rather than prepare for litigation.
The presentation will cover the legal nuances of the FAC-1 Framework Alliance Contract and the NEC4 Alliance Contract (ALC). Our speakers will discuss the transition from fixed-price lump sum contracts to cost-reimbursable models with "pain/gain" share mechanisms. A key focus will be on the legal enforceability of "good faith" obligations and how dispute avoidance boards (DABs) are being utilized to resolve issues in real-time before they escalate into formal claims.
This event is ideal for those involved in public sector procurement, infrastructure, and large-scale urban regeneration. We will look at local Leicestershire examples where collaborative models have been used to deliver complex civic projects. The session aims to provide a roadmap for lawyers and commercial managers to draft and manage contracts that prioritize project outcomes over individual organizational protection.
