You can use an exchange of letters. You write them a letter on headed paper, stating what you are providing, the quantities, the price, thedelivery times and payment terms.

 

They write you a letter accepting your letter and its terms, etc

Payment terms.

Responsiblity for tidying up.

I always say payment is acceptance that the finished work is to a satisfactory standard.

Ensure a risk assessment is agreed and signed.

I can email you our contract, if you'd like.  I'm sure that you'd want to change some of the wording, but it hits all the important points.

Just use a JCT contract. Whenever I have done very big contracts we have used a fairly standard jct and been through it and deleted and amended certain sections or terms that weren't a pliable or quite right.
