Our procurement procedures

Contracts

It is essential that any work that is to be undertaken by an external consultant/supplier is covered by a contract.

The style of contract issued will depend on each individual case.

CI3 and CP3 contracts

These contracts are used for specific occasions where the consultancy work does not carry copyright/IPR implications, such as:

  • Editing/Peer Review
  • Attending meetings (for example Steering Group member)
  • Speakers or presenters.

The CI3 contract is used for limited companies, recognised organisations or self-employed individuals.

 The CP3 contract is used for everyone else if the work falls within this category.
