Our Sub Contractor Agreements Service
Mitigating Risks and Maximizing Results
When engaging a sub-contractor, one of the primary concerns for a supplier is ensuring the seamless delivery of services in accordance with the requirements of the main contract with the customer.
Entrusting the supply of services to a third party comes with inherent risks, both legal and commercial. Our firm specialises in identifying and managing these risks, providing you with peace of mind.
Tailored Solutions for Your Industry
Our experience encompasses a wide range of sub-contracting and supply chain arrangements across various industries, including:
- Sub-contracting the provision of professional services
- Sub-contracting as part of construction projects
- Outsourcing IT services or reselling software and support services
- Manufacturing services
- Consultancy agreements, including those using personal service companies and similar models
- Intra-group arrangements for the supply of services between companies
- Agency, distribution, and reseller arrangements
Understanding Your Specific Needs
We recognize that sub-contracting arrangements require careful consideration of numerous factors. Our team will work closely with you to address key issues such as:
- Reviewing the main customer contract to determine sub-contracting permissions or restrictions
- Conducting due diligence on sub-contractors to assess their suitability, skills, reliability, and resources
- Evaluating the need for a third-party guarantee to secure the sub-contractor's obligations
- Ensuring proper "flow-down" of obligations and contractual assurances from the main contract into the sub-contract
- Assessing compliance requirements, policies, and standards for the sub-contractor
