JCT Contracts Discovery is the education and learning module from the Joint Contracts Tribunal, available in paperback and as a ProView eBook. The 2026 version has been substantially revised from the 2018 version to refer to the JCT 2024 Edition of Contracts, as well as new content and chapters.

This publication provides a general understanding of the JCT contract range, a review of procurement methods and appropriate uses for JCT contract forms, and guidance on how to set up a contract using a JCT contract form. It also provides an understanding of the arrangement of JCT contract forms, primary obligations of the employer and the contractor, a review of the roles played by contract administrators, quantity surveyors and others, and a review of how JCT contracts deal with key aspects of the contracting process, including control of the works (quality, time), payment, variations, insurances and security documentation, third party rights and collateral warranties, termination and dispute resolution.
