Outsourcing
Outsourcing is essentially an arrangement whereby one company provides services to another company that would otherwise have been provided in-house. Outsourcing can either be for a specific function (such as website hosting or e-mail filtering), or an entire business process (such as accounting or human resources).
Outsourcing and Procurement contracts can be highly complex with elaborate provisions for change control to ensure appropriate service delivery for the client and payment for the supplier as the contract evolves during its lifetime. We have experience of assisting our clients in the whole outsourcing and procurement process’ drafting “Invitations To Tender“ and functional specifications; reviewing “Responses to Tender” and negotiating the final Agreement. Our lawyers have worked on the outsourcing of IT support, development and systems procurement for a wide range of clients including a major insurance broker, a football club and a number of financial, technology and media companies.
