Document background
The Subconsultant Agreement is a critical document used when a main consultant needs to engage specialized professional services from another firm or individual for a specific project or scope of work in Saudi Arabia. This agreement type is particularly important in the Saudi Arabian market where large-scale projects often require specialized expertise and local knowledge. The document must comply with Saudi commercial law, Sharia principles, and relevant regulatory requirements, including those from professional bodies and government authorities. It typically includes detailed provisions on scope, deliverables, payment terms, professional standards, and risk allocation, while addressing specific Saudi Arabian requirements such as local content rules and professional licensing requirements. The agreement serves as a comprehensive framework for managing the relationship between the main consultant and subconsultant, ensuring clear understanding of roles, responsibilities, and commercial terms while providing adequate protection for both parties' interests.
