The ICE Conditions of Contract (CoC) were published by Thomas Telford publishing on behalf of the ICE, The Association of Consulting Engineers (ACE) and the Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA). The first edition was published in 1945 and the seventh and final edition in 2001 during which time it was the dominant form of contract for civil engineering.

The key characteristics of the contract were:

* Valuation by measurement.
* Engineering responsibility for design.
* Engineer as the impartial certifier and valuer.
* Engineers decision as the first stage of dispute resolution.

When the seventh edition was being prepared, pressure started to build for ICE to withdraw its support for CoC in favour of NEC.

NEC was first published in 1993 as the New Engineering Contract. It is a suite of construction contracts intended to promote partnering and collaboration between the contractor and client. It was developed as a reaction to other more traditional forms of construction contract which have been portrayed by some as adversarial. The third edition, NEC3 was published in 2005. NEC is a division of Thomas Telford Ltd, the commercial arm of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).

In 2001, at the launch of the seventh edition of CoC, Author, Brian Eggleston wrote ‘ One strongly expressed view was that with the Institution's New Engineering Contract (now called NEC Engineering and Construction Contract) steadily gaining ground and recognition there was no point in continuing the publication of traditional ICE Conditions….

Despite this, with the growing popularity of NEC, in 2009 the ICE Council formally endorsed the NEC contracts and ICE transferred its part in the ownership of CoC to ACE and CECA.

ICE, ACE and CECA all hold reference copies of the last published version of the ICE Conditions of Contract, but no longer support it or offer it for sale.

In August 2011, ACE and CECA relaunched CoC as the [http://www.acenet.co.uk/infrastructureconditionsofcontract/657 Infrastructure Conditions of Contract] (ICC) a standard suite of forms of contract largely based on CoC.
