Standard contract provisions (vol. 6): early contractor involvement (ECI) contract

The Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) Contract is a contract delivery option introduced by Main Roads to achieve value for money, alleviate strain on industry and best utilise market capacity.

This style of contract, best described as a negotiated Design & Construct (D&C) Contract, utilises a two-stage process to select the right Contractor for the job. This manual describes these two stages as well as the activities required to establish and plan the process.
