Thinkproject strengthens JCT contract governance with built-in, compliant workflows

London, UK – February 2026 – Thinkproject, a global leader in built asset intelligence and built asset lifecycle management, is strengthening its focus on system-enforced JCT contract governance with an out-of-the-box solution, as audit and accountability pressures continue to rise.

With an estimated 70% of projects in the UK underpinned by JCT contracts, it is alarming that many organisations still manage processes through disconnected tools such as email, spreadsheets and document-only systems. As audit scrutiny, FOI obligations and public accountability increase, this separation between contractual obligation and digital execution introduces growing commercial and governance risk.

Thinkproject CONTRACTS addresses this challenge by embedding JCT-aligned compliant workflows directly into day-to-day delivery, ensuring contractual processes are applied consistently and enforced by the system itself. Rather than relying on manual interpretation or project-by-project approaches, organisations gain a governed environment where contractual actions are time-stamped, evidenced, and fully traceable.

The announcement reflects a wider market shift away from bespoke or improvised contract tools toward configured, enterprise-scale governance. CONTRACTS is a mature, proven solution with built-in JCT workflows that can be switched on in days, avoiding the cost, delay and inconsistency associated with custom development or generic contract platforms adapted to JCT.

“The day-to-day management of JCT Contracts can’t be treated as an administrative layer that sits outside other standard business processes” said John Bedford, AVP Sales, UK, Ireland and Nordics at Thinkproject. “As audit and accountability pressures rise, organisations need system-enforced processes, clear evidence and full traceability. Thinkproject CONTRACTS embeds JCT workflows directly into delivery, providing governance by design rather than by exception for both public-sector and institutional clients.”

CONTRACTS supports core JCT processes including notices, instructions, variations, approvals, and obligations, creating a clear and defensible record of contractual actions. Where organisations manage amended or bespoke JCT contracts, configurable extensions can be applied without undermining programme-level consistency.

By reframing JCT contract management as a delivery-critical capability rather than an afterthought, Thinkproject aims to close the gap between contractual intent and on-the-ground execution—helping organisations reduce risk, improve confidence in outcomes, and maintain control at scale.
