Know what your
workforce quotation covers.
A workforce proposal should make responsibilities and costs clear before an assignment is confirmed. The scope depends on your project, role requirements and agreed workforce supply arrangement.
Confirm the scope before committing
The items below are a discussion checklist. They are not a promise that every item is included in a standard Vertex rate. Your written quotation and contract identify the inclusions, exclusions, responsibilities and applicable charges.
| Item | What to clarify |
|---|---|
| Roles and commercial basis | Role grades, headcount, agreed duration and the basis used for the quoted rate. |
| Working hours and overtime | Normal hours, shifts, rest arrangements and how additional hours are authorised and charged. |
| Accommodation, transport and meals | Which party arranges each item, the agreed locations and any separate charge. |
| PPE, tools and site access | Required equipment, who provides it, and site passes or induction responsibilities. |
| Mobilisation and assignment end | Applicable travel, documentation, approval and mobilisation or demobilisation responsibilities and charges. |
| Employment and assignment administration | The applicable employment model, payroll responsibilities, insurance and agreed coordination scope. |
| Absence, suitability and replacement requests | How issues are raised, assessment steps, agreed responsibilities, and any replacement timing or charge. |
| Billing, payment and taxes | Billing cycle, supporting records, payment terms, applicable taxes and the treatment of changes. |
When a requirement changes
A change to headcount, role grade, location, shifts, duration or target date can change the sourcing plan and price. Share changes before confirming them on site so their commercial and mobilisation implications can be reviewed.
Ask for any unresolved item to be clarified in writing before accepting the quotation.
Prepare a comparable enquiry
Provide the same role and site details when comparing proposals. Check the hours, responsibilities, exclusions and assignment support alongside the headline rate.
