Pricing
All of our services are priced by a common set of rates tables, based on the ‘Skills for the Information Age (SFIA)’ Definitions & Rate Card, as shown below. This gives day rates for consultants of different levels of experience undertaking different types of roles in different types of projects. Further details can be provided if required, but we would normally expect to agree what level of supporting resource(s) were required for a given project with a client, which will enable us to determine what rate(s) are appropriate.

Additional Information
Service ManagementMethods’ consultancy services are accredited to ISO9001 quality standards and delivered according to a proven PRINCE2 based project management methodology. We are accustomed to working in close collaboration with clients, often on-‐site, against agreed work and deliverable schedules.
Training
Training is not a requirement of consultancy services, however, Methods Digital always aims to provide skills transfer to client staff throughout assignments. We are also offering to provide training services to client staff on the new products, systems and processes that may be associated with a Cloud solution implementation.
Ordering and Invoicing
Methods Digital is an experienced framework contractor and orders through the G-‐Cloud framework would be treated in the same way as orders through our other many
frameworks across Government. This would involve discussion of requirements, agreement and completion of a Call Off contract, and submission of a Purchase Order. We would then set up a mutually acceptable start date and commence work.
Invoicing would be based on the submission of monthly timesheets and any expenses for the consultants providing the service, along with our invoice. Payment terms are 30 days.
Termination Terms
Since there is no licencing agreement for the consultancy services we are offering, there are no additional termination terms, which would be in accordance with the Framework Agreement and the Call Off contract.
Customer Responsibility
For any give call off requirement, the dependencies on the customer associated with the work (which would differ in each case) would be discussed and agreed before
commencement, and form part of the Call Off contract.
