What have NEC contracts done to public infrastructure projects in Peru?

The developers of NEC contracts state that these contracts and their benefits are applicable for projects in any country. This has been widely investigated in New Zealand and Hong Kong. This paper aims to determine which international benefits of NEC have been experienced in public infrastructure projects from Peru, which is an interesting case considering that it is a Spanish speaking, first South American country that uses NEC and developing country with several local issues in its construction industry. An online survey with a Likert scale was created based on literature review, before data was collected with the voluntary participation of 46 practitioners of NEC contracts in Peru. Finally, the benefits experienced was determined by a statistical analysis (one sided t-test) that considers different test values. Results show that, depending on the test value chosen, the number of benefits experienced in Peru can vary from 5 to 21. This research would help decision makers in Peru to take advantage of the identified benefits to improve the procurement of public projects.
