A clear, well-drafted agreement is essential to any successful service relationship.
A supply of services agreement outlines the terms between a service provider and their customer. While certain terms are implied by law—such as the obligation to provide services with reasonable care and skill under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982—many key provisions must be expressly agreed and documented.
We work with clients across a wide range of sectors to draft bespoke agreements that reflect the nature of the services being provided and the commercial realities of the relationship.
A comprehensive supply of services agreement typically covers:
• Price – Including how charges are calculated and any additional costs such as VAT, delivery, or packaging
• Payment terms – Including due dates and penalties for late payment
• Service description – A clear outline of what is being provided and the supplier’s obligations
• Timeframes – Start and completion dates, with flexibility for unforeseen delays
• Termination clauses – How the agreement can be ended and under what circumstances
• Force majeure – Provisions for events outside either party’s control
We also include standard clauses to manage risk, clarify responsibilities, and outline procedures for resolving issues if they arise.
Some services require more detailed or specialist agreements—particularly where:
• Confidentiality is critical (e.g. product development or proprietary processes)
• Data protection is involved, especially where personal data is processed
• Intellectual property is created or shared during the course of the service
We ensure your agreement addresses these areas clearly and complies with all relevant regulations, including UK GDPR.
• Extensive experience drafting service agreements across a wide range of industries
• Tailored contracts that reflect your business model and risk profile
• Clear, practical advice to protect your commercial interests
• Recognised in the Legal 500 and awarded the Law Society Mark of Excellence
