JCT (Joint contracts tribunal)

The Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT) is an official body dedicated to setting the standards and regulations for public, private, and semi-public sector contracts. Through its comprehensive library of standard contract documents, the JCT sets out clear contractual obligations and expectations for both parties carrying out a contractual agreement. JCT provides guidance on matters relating to legal requirements, payment terms, dispute resolution, and other statutory regulations related to contracts. It also provides guidance on best practices, ensuring the highest standards are met when entering into contractual agreements. With its authoritative yet accessible approach, the JCT plays an important role in helping organisations procure services responsibly and effectively.
