1. Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) being the statutory regulatory body has been
entrusted to regulate the engineering profession in Pakistan. It has carried out
standardization of "country specific" documents to regulate and streamline hiring of
engineering consultancy services and procurement of works in line with the advice by
Planning Commission, Govt. of Pakistan in 1996. Standard Form of Contract for
Engineering Consultancy Services (For Large Projects) - Lump Sum Assignments; is
one such document prepared by a team of experts comprising employers, constructors
and consultants. With the passage of time, this document was developed into a
complete contract document which was notified for implementation by Government
of Pakistan. On the basis of feedback received from the users of this document and
comments from PPRA in September 2005, it is revised upto June 11, 2007. It is
expected that use of this document will provide an equitable and just basis for
execution of contract agreements for providing engineering consultancy services on
lump sum remuneration basis in line with the international practice and relevant PEC
Bye-laws thus minimizing ambiguities and likely contractual disputes.

2. This document is primarily based on the standard formats prepared by NESPAK and
comprises General Conditions of Contract, Special Conditions of Contract and sample
Appendices.

3. This document is to be used for large projects with consultancy fee over Rupees
two (2.0) Million.

4. This document has been approved by ECNEC in its meeting on 12th November, 2007.
The document has been notified by Planning Commission, Government of Pakistan
vide Notification No. 8(60)WR/PC/2008 dated 12th February, 2008. It is, therefore,
mandatory for all engineering organizations and departments at Federal and
Provincial level and district governments to use this document for procurement of
engineering consultancy Services.

5. Any suggestions for improvement shall be appreciated. These may be addressed to

Registrar, PEC, Ataturk Avenue, G-5/2, Islamabad (e-mail: registrar@pec.org.pk).

(iii)

clause(s) to suit their requirements.
