These agreements are essential for avoiding misunderstandings and ensuring project success. Helpink ensures that each SoW is legally compliant with the Contract Act of 1872 and other relevant regulations.

Key Components of a Scope of Work Agreement:

  1. Project Overview: The SoW starts with a high-level overview of the project, including its purpose, goals, and objectives. Helpink works with clients to clearly articulate these points, ensuring all stakeholders understand the scope.

  2. Deliverables: Helpink helps businesses define the key deliverables for each phase of the project, specifying the output or services to be provided. This section is crucial for managing expectations and tracking progress.

  3. Timeline and Milestones: The agreement includes a detailed timeline of when deliverables are expected, including milestones for specific tasks or phases. Helpink ensures that timelines comply with relevant industry standards and government regulations, including labor laws governed by the Bangladesh Labor Act, 2006.

  6. Change Management: Helpink includes provisions for managing changes to the scope of work, ensuring both parties agree on how to handle scope creep or adjustments to the project. These provisions are legally compliant with The Contract Act of 1872.

  7. Confidentiality and Intellectual Property: Confidentiality clauses are included to protect sensitive business information. Intellectual property (IP) rights related to the work produced are also clearly outlined, in accordance with The Copyright Act, 2000 and other applicable laws.

  8. Termination Clauses: The agreement specifies conditions for terminating the SoW, including penalties or compensation for unfinished work. Helpink ensures that this section complies with Bangladesh’s legal framework for contract termination, as per the Contract Act, 1872.
