Outside IR35 Contracts

Statement Of Work Outsourcing

We build a true statement of work (SOW) solution for all types of businesses and our contracts are classified as “Outside IR35“.

What exactly is a work statement (SOW)?

Several operators have entered the market in recent years, claiming to provide ‘true’ SOW solutions. While there is no set format, a strong statement of work would include a ‘contract for services’ is something that governs the relationship and outputs agreed upon between the business and UnivPro Projects.

Each party would define the scope of work and commercial arrangements, including fees, timescales, and outputs, in addition to pre-agreed Terms and Conditions.

An outcome-based SOW addresses a variety of issues, such as project misalignment, variable costs, a lack of control, inefficiency, and inconsistent quality. Recognizing these factors makes it simple to see why performance-based work packages make good business sense.

Advantages of a SOW Outsourcing:

SOWs are an effective way for businesses to benefit from optimal deliverables and access to the best talent while avoiding unnecessary overheads and the additional headache of IR35 compliance.

  1. Control and cost
    An outcome-based SOW addresses a variety of issues, such as project misalignment, variable costs, a lack of control, inefficiency, and inconsistent quality. We take on project responsibility by establishing guaranteed deliverables, on time and within strict budgets – which helps to provide significant project cost savings by eliminating inefficient work or rework costs.
  2. Quality and on-time delivery
    UnivPro Projects manages the contract for services and assumes either full or mutually agreed responsibilities for the successful delivery of a project by utilising a pool of talented workers and managing those teams to deliver against strict KPIs and outcomes. Our clients can relax knowing that we have expert oversight of the entire package of work. It is delivered within agreed-upon timeframes and milestones, with the UnivPro Projects team ensuring optimal delivery at each stage.
  3. IR35
    UnivPro Projects becomes the end client and is accountable for IR35 compliance and the risks associated with it. A true statement of work must be truly outsourced and cannot be used to disguise the provision of labour as a consultancy agreement. This model requires us to exercise reasonable care and accurately assess the tax status of any Person / PSCs we engage, which is an appealing proposition for our clients.
