Forms of Contract
Introduction to the contracts
IChemE’s Forms of Contract are an internationally acclaimed series of model forms of agreement, developed to reflect best practice for project delivery in the process industries.
Drafted by a team of legal and industry professionals, our contracts address the complex way in which the purchaser, contractor and subcontractor divide responsibility for creating new process plants and working on existing structures.
As the contract framework is fair and balanced, each party can easily recognise its responsibilities and achieve its objectives without confrontation, which provides a time and cost effective solution for all parties involved.
Process plants are judged by their performance in operation, therefore our process industry contracts are performance based. This philosophy ensures our contracts stand apart from the many others used in the wider construction industry.
Used wherever plant requires extensive testing provisions, you can see from this research that our contracts are among the least disputed.
Key features and formats
There are currently two suites of contracts available, one suitable for the UK market and another for international use. Each contract contains a model form of agreement and general conditions, supplemented with detailed guide notes to assist the user in preparing a contract.
They are available to purchase as a set or individually, and come in hardcopy, PDF and editable MS-Word document formats. Visit our online shop to find out more.
We offer attractively priced corporate licences for organisations requiring multiple-user access to the contracts, or who need to edit them. Contact sales@icheme.org for more information.
