GLOSSARY / Project delivery

Scope of work

The agreed description of what a supplier will deliver, where it applies, and the assumptions, boundaries and exclusions attached to the task.

THE RRS GLOSSARY

Why it matters to a project

For UXO work, the scope should identify the activity, area, depths, outputs and limitations. Commercial comparisons are more meaningful when the underlying scopes match.

PROJECT EXAMPLE

Two quotations are compared against the same number of work fronts and reporting requirements.

A useful distinction
