A technical services consulting agreement outlines the terms and conditions for a client to engage a consultant or consulting firm for specialised technical expertise and services.

A technical consultant brings specific expertise to the design, instruction, or operations of technical solutions. Some technical consultants may work an instructional capacity with clients and training and end users.

Consultancy agreements should begin with naming all parties involved, the businesses involved, scope of work, the time frame covered by the agreement, compensation terms, clarification about the consultant’s role as an independent contractor and a confidentiality agreement. It should also include fields for a signature for both parties.

A consultant contract is a legal agreement between a consultant and a client, by means of which the client buys the services of the consultant.
