IR35 & Our Procurement Consultancy Services

At The Procurement Hive, most of our consultancy projects are outside the scope of IR35. When you engage our consultancy services, you can expect full clarity and compliance.

Clear Scope of Work: Every engagement is governed by a Statement of Work that clearly defines the scope and deliverables.
Milestone-Based Approach: We agree on key milestones with you up front. These milestones are written into the contract, and we typically invoice upon completion of each milestone.
Independent Consultants: Our consultants are fully self-sufficient. They use their own equipment, software, and vehicles, and set their own varied working hours.
Independent Status: We always make it clear to both internal and external stakeholders that our consultants are not employees of your business. They do not receive employee benefits such as holiday pay, sick pay, or pensions, and they are not contracted directly with you.
Multiple Clients: Our consultants often work with several clients simultaneously, either through The Procurement Hive or other channels. Our contracts also allow for substitute resources to ensure service continuity.
Project-Specific Assignments: Our consultants do not fill vacant permanent roles. They are brought in to deliver solutions for specific, complex business challenges.
Flexible Project Timelines: Contracts are ongoing, without a fixed end date. Project dates are agreed as estimates, allowing for the flexibility required in consultancy work.
