Document background
The Scope of Work (SOW) document is a fundamental contract type used in Belgian business practice to clearly define and document the specific parameters of work to be performed in a project or service engagement. It is essential when parties need to establish detailed specifications, deliverables, timelines, and acceptance criteria for their professional relationship. This document type, governed by Belgian law, particularly the Civil Code and Enterprise Code, is commonly used in both business-to-business and business-to-client relationships. The SOW serves as a critical reference point for project execution, contract management, and dispute resolution, incorporating all necessary elements required under Belgian jurisdiction while ensuring practical utility for project implementation. It is particularly valuable in complex projects where clear delineation of responsibilities, deliverables, and success criteria is essential for successful project completion.
