Electronic contracts and how to use this section of the website
These pages allow you to create a digital version of the following various building contracts for your project. The current documents available electronically on this website are:
FAC-1 – ACA Framework Alliance Contract (Published 2016)
TAC-1 – ACA Term Alliance Contract (Published 2016)
PPC2000 – ACA Standard Form of Contract for Project Partnering (Amended 2013)
TPC2005 – ACA Standard Form of Contract for Term Partnering (Amended 2008)
You will need to email us using the form in the relevant contract page, your proposed project title. Once your project title has been approved, you will receive a request for payment via our Paypal account. Once paid, you will receive an electronic PDF that will contain the relevant agreement and schedules as well as the contract terms and appendices. The agreement, schedules and appendices have been created to allow you to input the specific details you need for your framework programme, project or term programme. You should use the latest version of Adobe Acrobat to complete the electronic PDF.
To generate the PDF you will need to input the following details:
Project Title/ Framework or Programme Title
Email address to receive the complete PDF.
These details will be used to generate your PDF contract. The contract will be a locked, watermarked PDF, the watermark being the Framework Programme Title / Project Title that you have entered which will be inprinted into the PDF on the Project Partnering Agreement / Term Agreement / Framework Alliance Agreement and any Joining Agreements. You will not be able to modify this. The PDF you receive will be about 2MB in size.
Copyright Protection
ACA Project Partnering Contracts and their associated appendices and terms in print or PDF are copyright-protected as literary works. A license is granted to distribute the completed PDF to the number of parties to the agreement as confirmed when the purchaser enters this information on the relevant on line forms for each contract. You must agree to comply with a copyright licence agreement and make the payment before the agreement is compiled and emailed to you.
