Teaming Agreement

A team agreement is defined as follows by the Contract Defense Audit Agency: A team agreement is a kind of team agreement that consists of a senior contractor and another company acting as a subcontractor. The two meet to follow the orders of the government. Thanks to team agreements, companies are better positioned when awarding contracts. This type of agreement can work particularly well for small businesses that want access to contracts they cannot get on their own. A team agreement includes two or more companies that combine resources to provide a government mission. Typically, it is a large company and one or more small businesses, the large group being the main contractor in government and the smallest and subcontractor for the prime contractor. The greatest risk of these agreements is that, once the agreement is reached, the smallest company will not receive the expected share of work if the project offer is awarded. It is therefore important that the team agreement specify whether the principal contractor intends to sub-order the potential subcontractor if the principal contractor obtains the contract in question. The agreement should also cover, among other things, the protection of the protected data concerned. Like any business relationship, you should know what you are getting into. Protecting your company`s interests is a top priority.

Although not limited, there are some drawbacks to team agreements: in the construction industry, which is now competitive, companies choose to partner with outside parties to pursue government contracts.

Once the Prime contract is concluded between the third party and the team member 1, a sub-contract between the Team 1 member and the other team members is executed to enable the Team 1 member to fulfill his obligations under the Prime contract. The senior contractor is responsible for the entire project and must ensure the completion of the project. The subcontractor is responsible for the implementation of certain parts of the project, as described in the contract. Contractors and subcontractors remain independent instead of working as a partnership.
