I would make sure that Client A knows you have another offer and that you are waiting on them, but can only wait so long. It's amazing how fast things move once they realise they might lose something they want and you being in demand makes you seem even more like the thing that they want.Comment

If offer B is waiting for your acceptance then you could accept subject to the results of of a contract check and get them to send it over. Can take 5 days to get it checked so you've bought yourself some breathing space. If something else comes up advise B you reject as the terms of the contract are unacceptable. He won't be happy but you haven't done anything wrong up to this point.
I don't see any dilemma really - you take what's on offer, subject to a contract being agreed. If A doesn't come back in time, then you take B. If you want to wait for A then you turn B down.Comment
