The term ‘major project’ refers to:

‘A bespoke project, programme or portfolio characterised by its complexity, level of investment and stakeholder involvement. Such a project is likely to have its own project control office established and have a dedicated project team under the direct control of a nominated person.'

Major project construction contracts (such as JCT MP 2016), are intended for use by employers who are involved in procuring large-scale construction projects. The design and build method of procurement is suitable for major project contracts.

Large projects are often undertaken by contractors who have both the experience and ability to take on more risk than under other JCT contracts. Since employers and contractors will often detailed in-house procedures, the contract conditions need only set out limited procedures.

The responsibility for the design, as well as completing the works, lies with the contractor. The design can be produced by the contractor from the outset of the project, using specialist designers or an in-house team; or it can be produced based on the concept provided by the employer’s advisers.

Under the contract, an employer will usually employ a representative to exercise their powers and functions. It is common for an agreement to be included so that the initial architect or designer continues to work on and complete the design, with the responsibility for them passing from the employer to the main contractor in a process known as novation.

The Major Project Sub-Contract can be used when sub-contract works are fully designed, or when a sub-contractor designs all, or part, of the works. It can also be used when the works are to be carried out in sections, as they often are on major projects.
