RIBA Standard Professional Services Contract 2020 (2024 Amendment): Architectural Services

The 2024 amendment to the RIBA Standard Professional Services Contract 2020.

Fully revised and updated to align with the 2022 Building Safety Act and the requirements of clause 11F (competence: general requirement) under Part 2A of the Building Regulations, the RIBA Standard Professional Services Contract is for the appointment of an Architect or Consultant. It provides comprehensive contract terms suitable where the Architect/Consultant undertakes a commission for architectural services on projects using a traditional form of procurement.

The RIBA Standard Professional Services Contract is an agreement with a business client or public authority and is not suitable for non-commercial work undertaken for a consumer client, such as work done to a client’s home. A contract with a consumer client is subject to the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the RIBA recommends the use of the RIBA Domestic Professional Services Contract for work undertaken for a consumer client.

The RIBA Standard Professional Services Contract is not suitable for the appointment of the Principal Designer under the CDM regulations 2015 or Building Regulations and the RIBA recommends that an RIBA CDM Principal Designer Professional Services Contract or RIBA Building Regulations Principal Designer Professional Services Contract is used.
