Consultancy Support Agreements

RCC Limited provides Consultancy Support Agreements so specialist contracting companies can access commercial, financial and contractual support as and when then need it.

 

The smarter way to work with RCC

We understand that you may want our support at any time. We also know that you need to control what you spend. So we have created a Consultancy Support Agreement to help you.

For a pre-agreed monthly fee – based on your anticipated usage – RCC will provide commercial, financial and contractual support services to your company as and when you require.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CSA?

RCC’s Consultancy Support Agreement allows you to utilise our commercial, financial and contractual support services as and when required.

What is the biggest commercial benefit of a CSA?

Clients with CSA agreements are proven to earlier engagement for contractual and commercial support which leads to profit maximisation, increased business resilience, risk reduction, dispute avoidance, consistency of performance and good commercial practice.

What does it cost?

We discuss your requirements and arrive at a pre-estimate of level of support required per month for the duration. This is invoiced and paid monthly.

What if we spend more or less time?

The monthly value is purely a pre-agreed estimate. All time spent is recorded and appended to each monthly invoice. At each review point we review whether we have overbilled or underbilled and a credit or some form of reconciliation is made. This ensures you only ever pay for the services that you use.
