Service Level Agreement Template for the inclusion of third party service providers in a Clinical Trial
This template helps to demonstrate the inclusions that should be considered when including third party providers such as Radiology providers or other ancillary services such as non core laboratories for the conduct of a clinical trial in line with protocol requirements. These documents may help with meeting local institutional governance requirements, noting they should be amended as appropriate to align with institutional requirements and do not serve to replace agreements already mandated by institutions who have similar documents in place. We always suggest you discuss this with your Research Governance Office or Research Office first.
