Engagement Options

Flexible ways to engage, sized to your scope and governance

Choose an engagement model that matches your delivery risk, procurement needs, and internal capacity. LW IT Solutions offers fixed-price packages for defined outcomes, time and materials for evolving scopes, and retainers for ongoing delivery and support. The goal is consistent: clear deliverables, transparent reporting, and supportable outcomes.
We can work direct with end clients or alongside partners, including white-label delivery and bid support. Engagements are set up on a deliverables-led basis where appropriate (including outside IR35 consultancy engagements where applicable), with clear statements of work, scope boundaries, and acceptance criteria. If you are unsure which route fits, a short discovery call is the fastest way to confirm scope, timelines, and the best commercial model.

Talk through your requirements and leave with a clear next-step plan.

Engagement models

We offer Multiple Ways To Engage With Us As A business

  • Fixed-price packages: defined scope and deliverables with clear acceptance criteria
  • Time and materials (T&M): flexible delivery for complex or changing requirements
  • Retainers: ongoing delivery capacity for a rolling backlog and operational needs
  • Project and programme delivery: structured governance for multi-stream initiatives
  • White-label delivery: delivery under your brand with agreed reporting and ways of working
  • Partner support: pre-sales, bid input, solution shaping, and delivery assurance

Fixed-price packages

We can Just give you One Price and Deliver

Fixed-price is best when the outcome can be clearly defined upfront. We agree scope boundaries, prerequisites, and acceptance criteria, then deliver to a phased plan with clear checkpoints.

  • Good fit for assessments, workshops, and defined implementation sprints
  • Includes a clear deliverables list, assumptions, and exclusions
  • Change control used if requirements expand beyond the agreed scope
  • Designed to support procurement and budgeting with predictable costs

Time and materials

Prefer a Daily Rate? We Can Operate Outside IR35

T&M is best when requirements are emerging or the environment is complex. It provides flexibility while still keeping delivery controlled through governance, weekly reporting, and prioritised backlog management.

  • Ideal for discovery-led work, remediation backlogs, and complex migrations
  • Work is prioritised against agreed goals and capacity
  • Transparent reporting on progress, risks, and next steps
  • Optional caps and milestone checkpoints to manage spend

Retainers and ongoing delivery

We make sure you are Looked after beyond the engagement

Retainers provide steady delivery capacity without repeatedly spinning up procurement. They suit organisations that have a rolling backlog or need ongoing optimisation, security improvements, and platform governance.

  • Monthly allocation of time with agreed priorities and outcomes
  • Supports continuous improvement and operational tuning
  • Can include documentation updates, enablement, and change governance
  • Clear handover approach for work delivered each period

Contracting and procurement

We make sure you have clarity and set expectations early

Where engagements are set up as consultancy services, we work on a deliverables-led basis with defined scope, acceptance criteria, and a clear statement of work. Contracting terms are agreed upfront as part of onboarding so delivery can start smoothly and governance expectations are clear.

  • Deliverables and outcomes documented in a statement of work
  • Governance cadence agreed to match your stakeholder needs
  • Clear roles and responsibilities so ownership and approvals are unambiguous
  • Onboarding covers access, security requirements, and working practices
  • Outside IR35 can be supported where applicable, subject to the engagement structure and working practices

If outside IR35 is a requirement, raise it early so we can confirm the right engagement structure and documentation.

White-label delivery and partner support

we can deliver for using your ways of working

We support partners who need delivery capacity, specialist expertise, or additional assurance. White-label delivery can be structured to fit your governance, documentation standards, and client communications.

  • Delivery under your brand with agreed reporting format and cadence
  • Solution shaping and bid input to improve scope and reduce delivery risk
  • Delivery assurance and quality checks on high-risk workstreams
  • Documentation packs and handover support aligned to your standards

Partner Enablement & Bid Support
Partner enablement and bid support services helping Microsoft partners strengthen governance, improve bid quality, and scale delivery with confidence.

How to choose the right option

if your not sure where to start, we can make sure you engage on the right pathway

  1. Confirm whether the outcome is fixed (fixed-price) or evolving (T&M or retainer)
  2. Assess delivery risk and governance needs based on security, data, and operational impact
  3. Agree acceptance criteria, reporting cadence, and handover requirements

If you need speed, start with a discovery call. We can recommend the smallest engagement that safely proves value.
