Ludwig's WRAP-UP
In summary, the phrase "for this contracting" is grammatically incorrect. As Ludwig AI points out, the use of the gerund "contracting" is inappropriate. A more suitable alternative is "for this contract", which uses the noun form and correctly conveys the intended meaning of relating something to a specific agreement. Due to its incorrectness, it is recommended to avoid this phrase in formal or professional writing and instead opt for grammatically sound alternatives such as "regarding this contract" or "under this contract". As there are no occurrences in Ludwig's database, this further underlines the fact that the phrase is ungrammatical.
