The authors
The
first standard form of Project Partnering Contract, PPC2000, was launched
in September 2000 by Sir John Egan, chairman of the Construction Task
Force, who described it as "a blow for freedom". It provides a 
foundation
and route map for the partnering process and can be applied to any type
of partnered project in any jurisdiction. However, in October 2007 an International version was published to cater specifically for jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom. PPC International was extensively trialled in the Middle East by authors Trowers & Hamlins before publication by the ACA.
Sir Michael Latham reviewed PPC2000 in detail at the time of its original publication and confirmed that it embodies all his recommended principles for a modern construction contract. He described PPC2000 in Building Magazine (10 May 2002) as "the full monty of partnering and modern best practice".
It is a direct response to the recommendations of the Construction Task Force's 1998 report Rethinking Construction (often referred to as 'the Egan report') and incorporates ideas set out in the Construction Industry Council's Guide to Project Team Partnering. PPC2000 was developed through prototypes tested on a variety of pilot projects.
PPC2000 has been endorsed by the Construction Industry Council, the Movement for Innovation, the Local Government Task Force, the Housing Forum and the Construction Best Practice Programme. (The latter four bodies and now integrated under Constructing Excellence.)
PPC2000 was amended in 2003, PPC International contains those amendments.
PPC(S)2000, the Scottish supplement slots into a standard PPC2000. It
contains alternative attestation clauses and amendments to PPC2000 in
accordance with Scottish Law.

The
standard form of specialist contract, SPC2000, underpins the contribution
that specialist sub-contractors can make by being appointed early and
integrated into the project partnering team. It responds to industry calls
for a contract, between the constructor and specialist, which works back-to-back
with PPC2000. SPC International, published in October 2004 does the same for PPC International for jurisdications outside of the U.K.
SPC2000 was amended in 2004. SPC International contains those amendments.
