A new contract form promoting integrated working has been published by the JCT and Constructing Excellence.

Its launch provides a single contract form to regulate all the relationships in a project and makes the delivery of a project the joint mission of the entire project team.

Professor Peter Hibberd, secretary-general of the JCT said. “The strength of this new documentation is that it is written specifically to bring together the concepts of collaboration and partnership, not in fuzzy terms, which are so often associated with partnering documents, but within a rigorous legal framework.

The contract can be used by the whole supply chain for the procurement of the construction works and construction related services for a project, including the provision of professional services, whether public or private sector.
