Risk management is a critical aspect of international construction projects. One of the key tools used to manage risk in this context is the provision of bonds. It is common industry practice for employers to require contractors to provide bonds as security for potential risks and various obligations. This practice is also reflected in standard form construction contracts, such as those issued by the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC), the New Engineering Contract (NEC) and the Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT), which include provisions addressing different scenarios in which bonds may be provided.
