Early Contractor Engagement Contracts (ECE/ECI) and pre market engagement processes

These methods of contracting on larger projects are being increasingly used and add a new level of complexity including for consultants to projects. 

This session:
- explains what ECE/ECI is and how it works
- explores the benefits and detriments
-  reviews how this aligns with procurement process
- also looks at pre-market testing which is similar but different and a possible alternative to an ECI/ECE process.
