Two or more parties decide to bid jointly. The deadline is close so the focus goes entirely into the submission.
Then the bid wins and nobody has agreed who does which scope, how the price is split, who leads the client relationship, or who carries the loss if one member underperforms.
Consortium Agreement for Tenders and Projects
A consortium agreement covering the bid process and costs, scope and work split, the lead member's role, pricing and payment flows, liability between members, exclusivity, confidentiality and what happens if the bid succeeds or fails.
Your Vision, Backed by the Right Legal Support
You build the business. We help you protect it.
Picture winning a tender with the split, the leadership and the liability position already documented, so mobilisation starts immediately instead of with a negotiation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Legal That Works?

We help you structure, grow, and protect your business through practical legal solutions—delivered fast, in plain English & Bahasa Malaysia, and with no office visit required.
What if I’m not sure what legal service I need?
No problem. Most business owners aren’t legal experts! Just reach out. Our team will guide you to the right service or help you understand your options—without jargon or upselling.
Is a consortium the same as a joint venture?
Not necessarily. A consortium is often unincorporated and project-specific, while a joint venture may involve a separate company.
Who contracts with the client?
Either the lead member or all members jointly. It has real liability consequences and should be a deliberate choice.
What if one member drops out mid-bid?
The agreement should say — including what happens to the work already done and the costs incurred.
