If you’ve already signed a Consultancy Services Agreement with your client and you’re being engaged by the same client for another service, this Proposal records the key terms for the new engagement (such as scope, deadlines, deliverables, and fee) and incorporates the general terms of your existing Consultancy Services Agreement. You don’t need another Consultancy Services Agreement! If you sign a Proposal before the existing services are complete, the length of your Consultancy Services Agreement is automatically extended when you sign a Proposal. If you have a Consultancy Services Agreement with a continuous term, you can agree a Proposal under it any time.
The Proposal is simple, short and easy to understand, without legalese. It’s easy to tailor to each new engagement by answering a few straightforward questions.
How long will it take to create my Additional Consultancy Services Proposal?
Under 5 minutes – super quick! During the Q&A, you can save your progress to come back later or repeat the Q&A to change an answer or produce a new version of a document.
What information do I need to complete the Q&A?
- The name and contact details of your client
- Scope of services – the work you are being asked to provide
- Deliverables (items you will provide) and deadlines
- Fees, expenses and method of payment
