Model Form of General Conditions of Contract MF/1

MF/1 is a key industry Standard Model Form of General Conditions of Contract for the supply of electrical, electronic or mechanical plant with erection. In addition to its ‘General Conditions’ it also includes sets of additional unique ‘Special Conditions’. The UK’s Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 has introduced amendments to the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (the ‘Construction Act’), requiring changes to the MF/1 (revision 5) contract. The amendments to the Construction Act apply to all construction contracts in England and Wales from 1 October 2011 and those in Scotland from 1 November 2011.
