Course Content

This half-day workshop is a closer review of the tendering stage of a project. It will consider the key information and documents that go together to make up a contract. This will review the documents that the Employer puts into a Contractor’s tender, as well as the considerations that the Contractor should consider when they are preparing their tender return.

It will consider options available to the Employer with regards to primary and secondary option choice which will alter the risk profile of a project. It will review how both Contract Data part 1 and part 2 should be populated and what it should/could include. It will consider what part the Works Information, Site Information and pricing document have in terms of ascertaining risk, and as a result what allowances/considerations that the Contractor should be allowing for within their tender price.

Attendees of this course will have a much clearer practical understanding of the tender processes and what considerations the Employer should make in putting together a tender, and what considerations the Contractor should make when pricing a tender.

You will learn about:

  • the main ECC contract documents that make up a signed contract
  • choice of primary and secondary options
  • ways of allocating risk through the different contract documents
  • considerations for completing Contract Data part 1 by the Employer
  • considerations for completing Contract Data part 2 by the Contractor
  • importance of Works Information
  • the pricing document and compiling an activity schedule/bill of quantities

FAQs

Are Synergie Training courses accredited and recognised in the UK?

Yes. Many Synergie Training courses are accredited by recognised industry bodies such as the Association for Project Safety (APS) and are aligned with current UK legislation, including the Building Safety Act and Building Regulations. This ensures training content is relevant, credible and suitable for continuing professional development (CPD).

How is NEC3 and NEC4 assessed?

Assessment methods may include multiple-choice tests, scenario-based exercises, and practical case studies focused on real project situations. Synergie Training ensures that assessments test both technical knowledge and the practical application of NEC contract processes.

What does NEC stand for?

NEC stands for New Engineering Contract. It is a family of standard contracts designed to encourage good project management, collaboration, and clear communication between parties. Widely adopted across the UK public and private sectors, NEC contracts are a core focus of Synergie Training’s commercial and contract management courses.

What is the NEC qualification?

An NEC qualification confirms that an individual understands the structure, principles, and administration of NEC contracts. It demonstrates competence in managing early warnings, compensation events, programme management, and contractual communication. NEC qualifications delivered by Synergie Training help professionals improve contract compliance, reduce disputes, and manage projects more effectively under NEC terms.

How long does NEC accreditation last?

NEC accreditation does not typically expire; however, industry best practice recommends refresher training when contract editions are updated or when individuals change roles. As NEC4 continues to evolve, Synergie Training offers refresher and update courses to ensure professionals remain confident and compliant when working with NEC contracts.

What is the difference between NEC3 and NEC4?

NEC3 and NEC4 are editions of the New Engineering Contract suite used across construction and infrastructure projects. NEC4 is the latest version and introduces clearer contract wording, improved risk management processes, enhanced dispute avoidance mechanisms, and new contract options to reflect modern procurement methods. NEC4 also places a stronger emphasis on collaboration and proactive project management. Synergie Training provides comprehensive NEC3 and NEC4 training to help professionals understand both legacy contracts and current best practice.

Who should attend NEC3 and NEC4 courses?

NEC3 and NEC4 courses are suitable for project managers, quantity surveyors, commercial managers, contract administrators, engineers, and anyone involved in managing or delivering NEC-based projects.
