PIANC’s Early Contractor Involvement Conference, 6 October 2022 in Brussels

2022-09-09

Register now for this 1-day conference and find out all about Early Contractor Involvement and collaborative contracting.

PIANC (The World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure), in cooperation with IADC, is organising an international conference on Early Contractor Involvement in Brussels on 6 October 2022. How can early involvement of the main contractor and its supply chain create value for the developer of an infrastructure project? And how should such an early collaboration be structured from a procurement, contractual and organisational perspective? These are the overarching questions that will be explored during the conference.

For this topic, PIANC has formed the Working Group 194; “A framework for Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) in infrastructure projects” with a number of ECI experts and practitioners to develop a report containing practical guidance on how to perform ECI projects. The report is available on the PIANC website. Following the publication of this report, this full-day conference will address the topics of the report, with speakers from the working group and other leading experts in ECI and collaborative contracting.
