What are manpower-based contracts?
Manpower-based contracts provide buyers with clarity on the scope of work to be completed and how it needs to be done. All they buyers need is staff to fulfil their requirements. This is generally the case for a lot of blue-collar jobs. While there will be leaders or supervisors from the supplier’s side to monitor the quality of work, the ultimate ownership of the task resides with the buyer. A supplier calculates a pricing quote by adding workers’ wages, accommodation and logistics costs and, if applicable, any other equipment-related expenses.
