The Short Form of Sub-Contract is for use where a JCT contract is the main contract, and for small-scale sub-contract works that are simple, straightforward and include low risk
It can be used when either the main contract works or the sub-contract works are to be carried out in sections.
It can be be used for sub-contract works that are to be carried out on the basis of an adjusted sub-contract sum (adjustment for variations etc.) or by complete remeasurement
It is not suitable if the sub-contracted works are of a complex or specialist nature, or if the sub-contractor is required to carry out any design
Not suitable where provisions which are fully back to back with the main contract are required
