Statement of Work (SoW).
When SOW Works Best.
SoW is typically used when traditional recruitment or contractor models no longer fit the demands of delivery.
It is most effective when:
-
Work is project-based or programme-led
-
Outcomes, milestones and timelines must be clearly defined
-
Cost certainty is required
-
Responsibility for delivery needs to sit with a single partner
-
Compliance and off-payroll risk must be managed proactively
Our scope and responsibilities.
Under a Statement of Work engagement, Zitko
assumes end-to-end accountability for project delivery within the agreed scope.
This includes:
-
sourcing specialist, project-ready talent
-
onboarding and mobilisation
-
day-to-day workforce management
-
alignment to deliverables, milestones and KPIs
-
ongoing reporting and performance oversight
Projects are delivered under a clearly defined scope, with agreed success metrics and governance in place from the outset.

3. Delivery
4. Completion
Commercial structure and cost certainty.
SoW engagements are structured to support predictability and control.
Commercial models typically include:
-
Fixed-price delivery
-
Milestone-based payments
-
CapEx-funded project teams
-
Defined SoW structures that support IR35 and off-payroll compliance
This approach provides clarity over cost, reduces exposure to overruns and supports more effective financial planning.
