How we charge
Complementary staffing
Our complementary staffing service is charged out on a daily basis. Our usual daily rate is 80 - 240GBP, depending on the dedicated person’s skills. There are no other costs such as National Insurance, Pension or Benefits.
The process
Initial request:
At this stage we gather the primary information for the project or task that needs to be resourced and identify the skills matrix for the possible candidates for complementary staffing.
Processing candidate staff:
Once we have identified candidates that match the skills matrix for the task we send their CVs to you.
Approval:
You approve CVs of candidates – we can arrange an online or telephone interview with them, if required.
Assignment:
The agreed person is dedicated to your tasks.
Resource replacement:
If a person needs to be replaced (for any reason), we repeat step 3 and another person will continue with the task. We will also provide a 1 month handover period, where you have 2 people dedicated to the task, but actually pay for only 1.
Fixed-price project development
We will give you a fixed-price estimate for a complete project, including a clearly defined specification. This covers the development as well as the project management.
We offer three main payment options for fixed-price projects. These are outlined below.
The process
Processing initial request:
We provide a draft technical solution and the likely timescale to complete your project.
Functional specification and detailed estimate:
We work with you to prepare a detailed functional specification for the project and define the milestones and interim releases. Once this is agreed, we provide a final estimate and development timeline.
Implementation:
We develop the product or project. Milestones are reported to you for progress review and comments. Interim releases are provided for testing and comment.
Testing phase and deployment:
Prior to live deployment, we operate a ‘soft launch’ which enable you to provide final comments and for us to iron out any last minutes hitches prior to the full launch.
Maintenance:
The project is maintained and monitored for performance.
Fixed-price project payment
Depending on your needs and budget we offer three payment options:
30 / monthly option: 30% payable in advance followed by monthly charges for time spent.
50 / 30 / 20 option: 50% payable in advance, 30% at the soft launch and 20% at final release.
Leasing option: agreed monthly payments payable over an extended development timescale. The leasing option is particularly suitable for larger projects.
