Certainly as a contractor your contract should be deliverable-based, as it would for EY, Accenture, any other consultancy or proper contractor. Get a proper estimate together for what you're going to be delivering, add 30% contingency to the estimate and there's your contract length. If you finish that early, great. Flag it up that you're finishing your deliverables and will either be leaving or will need a new contract to reflect new work. Or go perm.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

You can do anything as long as it is within the 4 corners of a water tight contract. Having said that, it is tricky when the client wants to move you around, because they probably won't be thinking in terms of a new contract. Personally I would try to look on it as an "opportunity for new business", and try to re-engage the client on a new contract (and charge more for a more senior role). Either that, or continue as you are. Don't let the client squidge you into a new "role", as others have said, that is IR35 quick sand.
I had this issue when a recent telecomms client asked me to architect a backup solution, out of the blue. Although it is a service I offer, I resisted, because (a) as discussed above and (b) it was well outside the contract and (c) I charge more for architecture anyway. The situation was resolved when technical reasons ruled it out, so it was not a problem.Comment

thanks for all the comments. I know about IR35 and should be OK with it at the moment - but that is the worry.
They are putting together this team and just expecting me to be part of it with not even mentioning my current contract or project. It looks like someone else (who didnt get me in) has been put in charge of creating this and is trying to build on what I'm already doing.Comment
