Brief means the detailed instructions for the goods or services to be provided, contained in a document that aligns with the contract.
Contract for service exists when a person (or organisation) agrees to carry out work as an independent contractor (or entity), not as part of the employer’s organisation nor under the employer’s total control.
A business operation may form part of an organisation’s activities or it may constitute a complete organisation.
