Contract B

Short description: Concept in Canadian law

Contract B is a concept in Canadian law. A Contract B is formed when an Owner formally accepts a Bid or, colloquially, a submission of price. Only a single Contract B is formed between the Owner and the successful bidder. The term Contract B is used to differentiate the actual construction contract from the tender contract or Contract A (a concept introduced by the Supreme Court of Canada, in R. v. Ron Engineering and Construction (Eastern) Ltd).[1] Tied to the concept of Contract A, Contract B is a place holder in the concept, a marker at the end of a formalized process of equitable treatment of both bidders and owners.[2] In many ways it is more of an academic detail within the Contract A - Contract B concept, but can also be thought of as a label for the actual construction contract.
