The simple electronic Short Form of Sub-Contract every Contractor should be using

A new digital Short Form of Sub-Contract from Construction Industry Publications (CIP) is now available

The popular CIP Short Form of Sub-Contract has been updated and is now available in a digital format.

The digital Sub-Contract is available via a website which allows you to prepare a digital version of the contract that you can then share with your sub-contractor, and that both parties can digitally sign.  There is also a subscription option which lets you:

• Access all the contracts you create at any time (renewable annually)
• Create new contracts
• View and download your existing contracts at any time during the subscription period
• Edit a contract until the point of signature

The CIP Short Form of Sub-Contract is an excellent, easy to use yet comprehensive simple form of Sub-Contract. It is recommended for use by both main contractors and sub-contractors alike and is a very popular choice throughout the construction industry.

It is suitable for use with most standard forms of main contract including JCT but has the added benefit that it can also be used in conjunction with almost all main contracts. Its use is primarily aimed at commonly incurred small scale sub-contract works of a straightforward nature rather than very high value complex sub-contracts. It can also be used for where some of the design is to be completed by the sub-contractor.

The website includes lots of hints and tips to help you complete the contract quickly and simply. It is very easy to use.

You can make edits and view a draft version of the contract prior to payment. Payment is taken once the Sub-Contract is ready for signature.
