Outsourcing contracts
If you’re outsourcing any of your operations, you’ll need to have a robust contract in place.
Legal contracts for outsourcing agreements
Outsourcing work can have many advantages for a business - perhaps to reduce your costs, get in a specialist, free-up management time or even create a bit more office space. Whatever your reasons, it's vital you get expert legal advice to help draw up the contract.
Outsourcing contracts
You’ll need to have a robust contract in place with your suppliers which covers all the necessary issues including pinning down some of the more abstract areas. Your contract should cover:
- services to be provided
- quality standards
- price
- staffing
- what happens at the end of the contractual period
- managing handover from one supplier to another, to make sure that standards are maintained during the changeover period
- any detailed legal and regulatory requirements which may apply, for example in the public sector.
