Commercial arrangements with freelancers and service sub-contractors

3di has an in-house team. We also have a network of 3di Associates based around the world: we use the expertise of self-employed freelancers or specialist companies to deliver our services to customers. The nature of 3di customer assignments vary but the way we work with 3di Associates will be consistent depending on what type of service the 3di Associate delivers: technical authoring, translation, consulting, web development, graphic illustration, localization Q&A.

For those companies or freelancers (3di Associates) that need to comply with UK tax rules: we regularly assess the way we work and contract with 3di Associates against the UK Government’s HMRC Guidance. According to our latest (July 2023) HMRC Determination, “Off-payroll working rules (IR35) do not apply” because 3di Associates work on a business-to-business basis.

Becoming a 3di Associate does involve us checking that the business relationship is going to work. We will assess the quality and relevance of what the company has done before, and understand if there is anything that might compromise 3di services to customers. The potential 3di Associate will need to ensure they have invested in, and can deploy efficiently, the necessary hardware and software to handle the latest cloud-based and locally-hosted applications.

For each project, we will agree either an hourly rate or a fixed price for the work, and the 3di Associate will invoice us at agreed milestones or intervals. Our payment terms are 30 days from date of invoice.

3di will provide clear guidance about what is expected from the 3di Associate so that they make the contribution to 3di’s service we need. This will cover the scope and quality of the work, and the processes, tools and progress communication. 3di Associates are responsible for delivering to the quality of service agreed, meeting delivery milestones, and for correcting errors at their own cost.

We welcome applications from freelancers or specialist companies worldwide and look forward to establishing long-term relationships that work well for our 3di Associates, the 3di team and our customers. If you are interested, contact us at resourcing@3di-info.com.
