The Joint Venture Agreement (also known as Pre-Bid Agreement) outlines the terms and conditions of cooperation between two or more partners to collaborate on a specific project or business activity, based on their expertise.

It defines the obligations, rights, responsibilities and liabilities of each participant, ensuring that all parties are clear on the parameters of their partnership. The agreement generally covers aspects like profit-sharing, decision-making processes, management structure, initial contributions, duration of the venture, and exit strategy, among other important elements.
