The third ‘opening the FIDIC contracts toolbox session’ will address the key question of how to ensure that FIDIC contracts take account of the pace of industry change and business challenges. The engineering and construction sector is changing and evolving fast and there is much to address, especially in the area of contract development as industry forms need to keep up with these changes. Some of the areas to be discussed in this session include:
• Development of FIDIC Net zero clauses.
• Contracts for offshore windfarms.
• The need for collaborative contracting?
• Dealing with brownfield infrastructure.
• Public Private Partnerships.
The session will also hear an update from the FIDIC contract task groups working on a FIDIC collaborative contracting approach and also FIDIC net zero provisions.
