MM Associates Ltd (MMA) operates on the basis of forming Associateship relationships with suitably

qualified and experienced individuals; MMA does not employ staff. An Associate is a self-employed

person (whose capability and qualifications are known to MMA) to whom MMA may choose from time

to time to issue invitations to tender for subcontract work, and who is entirely free to respond or not to

respond to such invitations. Associates are not bound to MMA: they are free to negotiate contracts to

work with other organisations (subject only to constraints of conflict of interest, confidentiality and IPR

that are typically embodied in any subcontract signed between MMA and an Associate). MMA maintains

an Associates list comprising individuals who MMA recognises as having skills that may be helpful in

undertaking such subcontracts and who have indicated they may be interested in being considered

for such subcontracts.

MMA values the talented Associates with whom it has established such arrangements. Having a list of

capable and experienced Associates means that MMA is able to respond promptly to the need that from

time to time arises to gain access to resources (with specialist skills) to support work that MMA is asked

by its Clients to undertake. MMA is interested in identifying potential for establishing further Associateship

relationships with appropriate individuals, although the standards we (and our Clients) expect are exacting.

If, on the basis of what you have seen in this website, you feel you are in a position to offer attractive skills

and experience (and an impressive track record), and wish to be considered to receive invitations to tender

for any future subcontracts, please feel free to explain your credentials to do so: through the email link

appearing at the top of this page.

Please note that:

• We will only add your name to our Associates list if we judge you to be suitably qualified and experienced

(on the basis of the evidence you provide and any further enquiries we make). MMA's judgement in this

matter will be final.

• There is absolutely no assurance that our adding your name to our Associate list (if we do) will lead

to any invitations to tender for subcontract work being issued.

• Any subcontract would be for short-term work, with a defined deliverable provided by the Associate

in return for an agreed fixed and firm price paid by MMA.

• Associates would be responsible for providing all the infrastructure and materials needed to undertake

any subcontract awarded, and will be held to account for its quality under the terms of any subcontract.

• MMA has no obligations to Associates beyond the specific terms of any subcontracts that might be

signed with them.

• MMA accepts no responsibility whatsoever for seeking work on behalf of Associates (and accepts no

liability for Associates lacking work, however such a situation may arise).
