Synopsis:
The ICE Minor Works form of contract was first published in 1988 with a second edition in 1995 and is intended for small civil engineering contracts. It is not a down-market ICE 5th or 6th edition but a common sense approach to produce a concise contract that reflects the practicalities of the smaller project. However, it has limitations and certain conditions and factors have to be considered before its  use is adopted. It is therefore important that contract compilers understand the procedures to be followed. The purpose of this training course is to give an insight, with delegate participation, in the procedures for the use of this form of contract in both pre and post-contract situations.
