Sagacity... Ever heard of them?

Well, if they wish to send you somewhere else on another project, shouldn't this be a new contract, complete with new rate etc...?

I just asked that and the agency said it's fixed rate. So basically wherever I go it's a standard rate and the contract doesn't change. I would basically be a permie for the consultancy in many respects. I'm really not 100% on the model but may be overthinking it.

I guess it depends on how the original contract is worded and how QDOS or similar perceive it. D&C a distinct possibility.

Hmmmmm. sounds a little bit caught on those terms.
Time to get contract reviewed?

My exact thinking as well. I have asked if we could do the Birmingham role as a contract that I work and then walk away from rather than be a sagacity "employee". Doubt they will go for it. Plenty of other work out there otherwise. I simply don't want to lose control of my business model of picking and choosing on my terms.

Bit negative. As said further up, different contract for each project would work.
