Redefining Fixed Price and T&M Delivery
The Reality of Today’s Challenges
In today’s rapidly evolving IT and business environment, traditional delivery models like Fixed Price and T&M are under growing pressure. While both offer structure, they often struggle to cope with the complexity and unpredictability of modern programmes.
Current Challenges include:
Scope Drift and Ambiguity: Many projects begin with incomplete or evolving requirements. In Fixed Price models, this results in endless change requests and friction. In T&M models, costs escalate without clear accountability.
Inflexibility in Fixed Models: Fixed Price contracts are often too rigid to accommodate fast-changing priorities, new regulatory demands, or shifting technology landscapes.
Governance Gaps in T&M Models: T&M contracts can suffer from weak oversight, leading to resource inefficiencies, ballooning costs, and lack of measurable outcomes.
Resource Bottlenecks: Accessing the right expertise at the right time is increasingly difficult, especially for niche areas such as cybersecurity, data migration, or cloud transformation.
Vendor Sprawl: Organisations often juggle multiple suppliers, leading to fragmented accountability, delays, and inconsistent quality.
Cost Uncertainty: Rising delivery complexity and global skills shortages mean budgets are harder to predict and control.
Regulatory Pressure: Programmes in banking, healthcare, energy, and other regulated industries often hit compliance hurdles not accounted for in traditional contracts.
Limited Transparency: Many engagements lack real-time reporting and visibility, meaning problems are only detected late, when fixes are expensive and disruptive.
Our Contractor-Led Model
At Pro Contract Direct, we have re-engineered Fixed Price and T&M delivery by placing seasoned contractors with more than 25 years of global consulting experience at the core. These professionals have worked with IBM, BT, Cisco, AT&T, HSBC, Barclays, Capgemini, and the NHS, bringing decades of hard-won expertise to every engagement.
Every contractor undergoes rigorous technical screening, including face-to-face or video interviews assessed by subject matter experts such as senior programme managers and architects. This ensures only proven experts are presented to clients.
We leverage our exclusive candidate database of over 100K professionals, including 10K who are immediately available. Many are handpicked passive candidates who rarely appear on the open market. By ensuring your requirements are directly propagated to this A-list pool, we connect you with the right expertise from day one.
Our approach is enhanced through agile delivery principles. By using iterative planning, clear milestones, and prioritisation tools like MoSCoW analysis, we shorten hiring cycles, deploy talent rapidly, and adapt delivery to changing business priorities without sacrificing quality.
We also embed real-time governance, automation, and advanced reporting, giving you complete visibility and control across the lifecycle of Fixed and T&M projects.
