Statement Of Work
Template
Statement of Work (SoW) template
A Statement of Work template for UK service contracts — the document that converts a proposal into an executable scope agreement.
Who it’s for: Account managers, professional-services leads, and consultants
How to use
Follow these steps
Parties and effective date
Full legal names, addresses, the effective date of the SoW, and reference to the underlying Master Services Agreement (if any).
Scope of work
Specific, measurable deliverables. Avoid vague ''provide consulting services''. Use lists with one deliverable per line.
Out of scope
Equally important — what''s NOT included. Avoid scope creep later by being explicit upfront.
Deliverables and acceptance criteria
Each deliverable: what it is, format (document / software / training), how acceptance is determined.
Timeline and milestones
Key dates, dependencies on client input, payment-tied milestones.
Fees and payment terms
Total fee, breakdown by phase or milestone, payment due dates, expense policy, VAT treatment.
Change control
How scope changes are agreed in writing (Change Request form), how rates are calculated for additional work, and who signs off.
Signatures
One authorised signer per party. Date. Counterparts allowed. PDF / e-signature acceptable.
