Sub-Contracting/Outsourcing Clause Samples

The Sub-Contracting/Outsourcing clause defines whether and under what conditions a party to the contract may delegate its obligations or services to third parties. Typically, this clause outlines if prior written consent is required before subcontracting, specifies any restrictions on the types of work that can be outsourced, and may require the main contractor to remain liable for the performance of the subcontractor. Its core practical function is to control and manage the risks associated with third-party involvement, ensuring that the quality and accountability of contract performance are maintained.
