Commercial Services

What are Commercial Services?

We define ‘commercial services’ to be the developing of commercial documents that will be used in a contract.

We are often called upon to provide commercial services and develop commercial documents given our significant contract experience.

For instance commercial services could be any of the following:

1. Pricing Models – defining and documenting pricing models;

2. Service Levels – defining and documenting service levels;

3. SOW or SOR  –  drafting a statement of work or statement of requirement. For example we can assist by taking a statement of work that has been drafted by a technical expert and convert it to a legally binding set of obligations so that:

• the scope of commercial services being provided under the contract are clear; and
• the obligations imposed in the SOW or SOR are clear.

4. Performance Criteria or KPIs – ensuring that any performance metrics in the contract,  such as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are:

• comprehensive,
• easy to understand, and
• the cost of failure to meet the relevant KPI is quantifiable.

5. CCPs or CVPs or PCRs – we have drafted or reviewed hundreds of contract change documents. As you will appreciate these are required to ensure that a contract is up to date. Generally the contract chance is undertaken by way of a  Contract Change Proposal (CCP) or Contract Variation Proposal (CVP) or Project Change Request (PCR) – where there is a project that sits under a head type agreement (e.g. with some Commonwealth Defence ASDEFCON based projects).
