The Environment Agency (EA) had used NEC contracts to improve tidal flood protection for more than 3,000 homes and businesses along the Essex coast, UK. The £12 million Cockett Wick sea wall improvement project near Clacton-on-Sea was completed on time and within budget in August 2024 under an NEC4 Professional Service Contract (PSC) and NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) Option C (target cost with activity schedule). The agency awarded the project to its eastern region delivery partners under the NEC-based collaborative delivery framework. Julie McNulty of the EA stated that, in line with the NEC requirement to act in a ‘spirit of mutual trust and co-operation,’ the project exemplified successful collaboration. The team worked together to manage risks and proactively address issues through the NEC early warning process. The project was shortlisted for the Environmental Project of the Year Award in the 2024 British Construction Industry Awards. #floodprotection #collaboration #project #environment
