When to use Comprehensive Contract Conditions
When buying general goods and services, there are a few different contract templates you could use.
This guide will help you decide whether the Comprehensive Contract Conditions are suitable for what you want to do.
Use for contracts:
- requiring a performance guarantee or financial security (e.g. bank guarantee) from the supplier
- where the transition risks are high (e.g. requiring the parties to work out what transition in or transition out services are required)
- that are high-risk or complex, and the General Contract Conditions can't mitigate these risks.
Don't use for contracts:
- where the goods/services are highly specialised, or where commercial arrangements are unique, requiring a custom contract
- for building or construction works
- for any interest in land or property
- where the General Contract Conditions (including any special conditions) are sufficient to mitigate any risks
- to buy ICT goods and services. Read more about how to create an ICT contract.
