Contact our teamAt Moore Barlow, we understand how crucial a well-drafted supply of services agreement is for safeguarding your business interests.
Whether you’re providing professional services or engaging external providers, it is essential to have a clear, enforceable contract in place that defines expectations and minimises liability and risk.
Our expert commercial and technology solicitors work closely with clients across a wide range of sectors to create robust, compliant agreements tailored to their specific commercial needs. With our commercially-minded approach, we ensure that your agreements not only protect your business but also support its growth and long-term success.
What is a supply of services agreement?
A supply of services agreement is a legally binding contract that sets out the terms under which services are to be provided. It details the scope of the services, responsibilities of each party, payment terms, service standards, timeframes, confidentiality clauses, the ownership of intellectual property and procedures for resolving disputes or terminating the contract.
These agreements provide clarity and legal certainty, helping to prevent misunderstandings and manage expectations between the service provider and the customer. They are critical for both B2B and B2C arrangements and can apply to anything from professional consultancy services to facilities management and maintenance contracts.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a supply of services agreement if I trust the other party?
Yes, even if there is a strong relationship or trust, a written agreement helps avoid misunderstandings and provides legal recourse if issues arise. In particular, contracts give structure to the arrangement and can help limit liability if things go wrong.
Can one agreement cover the supply of both goods and services?
Yes, but it’s important to clearly distinguish between the terms governing goods and those for services as different legal and commercial issues apply. This ensures compliance with different legal frameworks and avoids ambiguity.
What happens if the contract is silent on certain terms?
If specific terms are not outlined, default legal provisions may apply, which may not reflect your intentions. This is why it’s important to have a professionally drafted agreement tailored to your needs.
Protecting your commercial interests begins with having clear, enforceable services contracts. Let Moore Barlow help you get them right from the outset.
