Key Requirements PROMPT example:

Short Form Subcontractor Agreement

"I need a Short Form Subcontractor Agreement for engaging a specialist electrical contractor to complete £50,000 worth of installations at our London office renovation project, starting March 2025, with specific focus on payment milestones and safety requirements."

Document background
The Short Form Subcontractor Agreement is designed for situations where a main contractor needs to delegate specific portions of their contracted works to a specialized subcontractor. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, is particularly suitable for straightforward subcontracting arrangements where the full complexity of a standard form contract would be disproportionate. It includes essential provisions for scope, payment, and performance while ensuring compliance with key legislation such as the Construction Act 1996 and relevant health and safety regulations. The agreement is commonly used in construction, engineering, and similar technical sectors where clear delegation of responsibilities is required.
