Yes, I am using the QDOS contracts at my current client and travel and accommodation are both provided for (in certain circumstances) as billable expenses. I even got the Confirmation of Arrangements letter signed off as well. Given I've worke the entire contract from home I think I'm pretty bulletproof on this one

Oh bollocks - good point. It was the PCG template I used, not QDOS.

I'm guessing you'd recommend the Plus membership?

The contract should be all set to go, just follow the embedded instructions. You will need to fill out the schedule with your specific requirements of course.

Plus includes full tax investigation cover, jury service cover and agency default protection and some other useful odds and sods and is a total no-brainer IMHO - over 50% of members take it.

PCG Member? If so you have a contract template specific to a direct client engagement ready to go.

I just really want to make sure it's clear in the contract as this is direct to client but I'll be working in London on a project for a client of theirs. I suppose I'm just trying to cross every t and dot every i, I specified it in the contract confirmation not under redisbursements but is that enough?

My last contract was direct with the client, and was specifically for a project run out of the UK, but where I'd spend the vast majority of my time in Australia.

I used the QDOS template, but edited it to include specific terms on travel costs, including details around hotel costs, subsistence, car hire, taxis, etc. The client was booking flights themselves, but I included terms around class of travel, etc.

Was there anything specifically you wanted to know about this?

QDOS model contract templates

Hi all

Has anyone used the QDOS model contract templates for a contract? Fortunately for me at the moment I'm in a win, win position in the sense if they don't sign it they're up the creek and I'm more than happy to walk away. I'd also like to know if anyone included accommodation and travel into the contract as well.
