These challenges have led many Local Authorities to seek alternative methods of procuring consultants/specialists which enables them to gain greater control over project spend, ensure scope creep and deadline failure are mitigated, and allow accountability for the work provided by the consultant/specialist. One of the methods is the Statement of Work (SOW) model. This model is delivered by a Service Provider and involves Local Authorities creating a detailed project description that outlines the scope, budget, objectives, tasks, timelines, and expected deliverables of a consultant's/specialist's engagement. This approach contrasts with the traditional hourly rate model, which may lack clarity and may not sufficiently address project goals. The original MSTAR3 agreement allowed for the provision of Statement of Works, which at the time of award, the Council did take up the service. The Council would now like to trial the model to assess its suitability for ongoing use.",

The existing contractor already has processes and systems in place. This modification does not exceed 50% of the original contract value."
