CLIENT & SUPPLIER CONTRACTS
Why Robust Contracts Matter
Supply chain issues, hidden liabilities, and misaligned terms can leave recruitment agencies, and their clients, open to legal challenges, margin erosion, and regulatory non-compliance. A well-drafted contract clarifies responsibilities, pricing, and compliance obligations for all parties.
APPROACH
1
Contract Audit & Gap Analysis
-
We review your current contract templates (PSC, umbrella, master services agreements, client frameworks) to identify ambiguous clauses, unrealistic indemnities, or non-compliant payment terms.
2
Flat-Fee & Fee-Structure Review
-
We ensure your fees (markup, margin, umbrella margin, PAYE recharges) comply with HMRC guidance, industry norms, and your internal profitability targets.
​
-
We incorporate clear late-payment interest clauses and dispute resolution mechanisms to protect cash flow.
3
Compliance Clauses & Risk Mitigation
-
We embed IR35 indemnities, AWR clauses (ensuring agency-workers receive comparator rights), and KID obligations.
​
-
We include data-protection and modern slavery statements to satisfy GDPR and legislative requirements.
4
Supplier & PSL Review
-
We analyse your Preferred Supplier List (PSL) arrangements, ensuring each vendor’s contract complies with your service-level expectations, margin structure, and audit rights.
​
-
We negotiate favourable terms on your behalf, minimising early-exit penalties and ensuring clarity on compliance responsibilities.
