ICE Conditions of Contract Partnering Addendum

This Partnering Addendum aims to deliver an effective and flexible mechanism for multi-party partnering using ICE Conditions of Contract, ACE Agreements 2002 and CECA Forms of Subcontract. The document governs the implementation of the partnering arrangement and the relationship between the Partners. It may include any documents that are applicable to all parties (e.g. code of conduct) and may include any requirements for: use of common information systems, sharing of offices; attendance at Partners' and Core Group meetings; participation in partnering workshops; arrangements for joint design development; value engineering and value management; risk management; joint performance management and monitoring, including compliance measurement.By linking the Partnering Addendum to appropriate Bi-Party contracts, it is intended that the arrangements can be used for: partnering for any number of projects (i.e. single project or programme of works); the duration of a term contract; projects nationally and internationally using UK law; projects of any technical composition; and projects of any size.
The partnering arrangement is sufficiently flexible to accommodate: additional partners (disciplines) as the project progresses; all phases of the project development; and a party entering into more than one Bi-Party contract.
