The Subcontractor Agreement represents the formal internal document used to record and manage the portion of the project BOQ that is assigned to a subcontractor for execution.
It defines the scope of work, quantities, unit rates, and total value agreed upon with the subcontractor.
This document serves as a base reference for all future subcontractor-related processes, such as Payment Applications, Payment Certificates, and Variation Orders, to ensure consistent tracking of quantities, rates, and scope against the project budget.
The Subcontractor Agreement can be created through several paths, depending on the business flow:
From Purchasing → Subcontractor Management → Subcontractor Agreement
From Project Costing→ Subcontractors Management→Management Agreement
Based on a Requisition, converting internal material or service requirements into a subcontracting scope.
As a result of Supplier Tendering, a selected supplier from the tender comparison is finalized as a subcontractor.
Company – The subcontractor responsible for executing the assigned work.
Contract – The contract associated with the subcontracted work. It must be marked as a Subcontractor under the project terms.
VAT and Retention settings defined in the contract will be automatically used in the Subcontractor Agreement document.
