A guaranteed maximum price (GMP) construction contract sets an absolute limit to the amount a construction project owner will pay a contractor for completing the work outlined in the contract. The contractor will have to pay out-of-pocket for any project cost exceeding the GMP.
Maximum Contract Value means the amount specified in the "Limitation of Expenditure" clause set out in the Contract; and “Minimum Contract Value “means 10% of the Maximum Contract Value.
A GMP contract shifts risks associated with cost overruns and project delays to the contractor, providing greater protection against unexpected costs or delays.
As such, the calculations for these metrics are as follows: TCV = Monthly recurring revenue x Duration of contract [in months] + one-time fees. ACV = (Total Contract Value - one-time fees) / Duration of contract [in years]
