设计、采购、施工管理及设计、采购协议
设计、采购、施工管理协议(“EPCM”)及设计、采购、施工协议(“EPC” 或 “交钥匙”)为采矿行业于厂房及设施的设计及施工中普遍采用的合同架构。EPC及EPCM协议不一，在于将施工的基础设施的确切性质、预计的项目范围及期间、项目委托人愿意接受的风险级别、预算限制及委托人核心竞争力的程度。
根据EPC协议，EPC承包商为委托人（通常为矿业公司）提供设计、采购及施工服务。若是EPCM协议，EPCM承包商提供设计、采购及施工管理服务，委托人直接委托其他公司提供施工服务。该等公司均由EPCM承包商代表委托人进行管理。
易周律师行可协助矿业公司及承包商编制采矿行业所用的EPC、交钥匙及EPCM协议以及进行有关谈判。我们明白，EPC及EPCM协议没有标准模板协议，并且每个项目都是不同的。我们的目标是协助我们的客户编制强而有力的及条理清晰的协议，并在该协议中清晰地描述各方的权利及义务，以便减少协议的修订或产生争议的可能性。
