1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The JKR.PWD Forms were last revised in 1983: almost a quarter of
century ago.
Since then, numerous changes have occurred legally and in practice.
The Forms became anachronistic and out of tandem wit
contemporary practice
Steps were initiated a number of years ago to revise these Forms: a
process formally approved by the AGs chambers
These resulted first in the JKR /PWD Forms(Rev.2007) which were
officially launched in 2008
These new Forms, were further revised with the JKR/PWD
Forms(Rev.1/2010) and officially launched on 24th June 2011
Current, these are the Forms that have to be used for all Public
Sector Projects and apparently for other applications involving
statutory bodies and the like.
