Consultancy Contract - Description of Service question

[aoxomoxoa]

I am wondering if the a detailed working practices review would flag the lack of a schedule as the free one is a simple contract check.

Hopefully QDOS can come on and comment.

When I've made use of QDOS for such reviews, whether free or individually paid for, they have always checked both the contract and the associated schedules.

Hmm ... I would have thought they had checked it.

I spoke to them about the schedule and the changes that were made to it, along with why etc.
They seemed to think it was okay and confirmed that it was still covered by the policy.

If you've answered everything honestly, and they've confirmed that you're insured then I wouldn't care what any of the paper says

Same but there has always been a schedule. Didn't know they would still pass it without one.

I've dropped them a PM so hopefully the will come and comment.

Hang on, I might have given the wrong impression here:

My contract does have a separate schedule where it details the services I provide it just does not specify project titles or specific deliverables.

Hi all and my apologies for the lateness in replying;

In my opinion a detailed description can undoubtedly help in demonstrating that a contractor has been engaged to provide specific services, however having a description of services stated within the contract is not a failing issue in isolation and therefore we would not always make mention to adding a very detailed description of the work. It really depends on the specific circumstances and what documents we've have sight of.

We wouldn't fail a contract without sight of a contract schedule, but provide an opinion on the documents we're given, as very often we're asked to review draft contracts for services where the specific terms haven't been finalised. However we will always take a look at the contract again once the specific terms have been agreed.
