Issue 7 - July 2021
Entries are now open for the FIDIC Contract Users’ Awards, which recognise excellence in the use of FIDIC contract forms for project delivery and showcase examples of good practice through collaboration from across the world. The awards bring together the global community of FIDIC contract users to celebrate and highlight excellence and best practice and raise the profile of FIDIC contracts on an international scale. This year’s winners will be presented with their awards at the Official FIDIC International Contract Users’ Conference (Europe, Middle East & Africa time zone event) which is planned to take place digitally from 29 November 2021 to 2 December 2021. The awards will be presented digitally at the above conference on the evening of Tuesday 30 November 2021. Last year’s Project of the Year Award was won by the British Normandy Memorial for a special project to build a worthy British national memorial to the men and women who died on D-Day and during the subsequent Normandy campaign in the Summer of 1944. The memorial stands on rising ground in Ver-sur-Mer, Normandy, overlooking Gold Beach and although a British Memorial, it commemorates combatants from 38 different countries worldwide, who fought and died during the campaign. The engineer on the project was Michael Coombs of Alan Baxter Ltd and the contractor was Eiffage.
