It is not surprising to us that clinical research is a regulated sector. The tripartite agreement is intended to be used when the management of a commercial clinical trial is outsourced by the sponsor to a contract research organisation. The CRO mCIA is recommended by the UK Health Services, the National Institute for Health Research, the Association of British Healthcare Industries, the NHS Confederation, the Medical Schools Council, the UK Clinical Research Collaboration, the NHS R&D Forum and the Institute for Clinical Research. Finally, this section of the agreement should clearly indicate where the site must send invoices (name and contact details of the person) as well as the terms of payment (example: payment is made within 45 days).
