TPC2005

TPC2005 (now in an amended 2008 edition) is the first standard form Term Partnering Contract and was developed in response to considerable demand for a new approach to the procurement of term works and services. Launched by Sir Michael Latham, it applies the radical ideas in PPC2000 to a single multi-party contract that is the foundation and route map for partnering in term contracts.
