AS you say Kevin, tmsarch's example is one where predefined specifications that are agreed as part of the contract do not remove self employed status... it is for example stating that the plasterer will use type 2 plaster or a tiler is told the specifications are for limestone tiles in the bathroom... otherwise they may try and use cheaper materials. However, the specifications are there to be agreed on... so if you feel you can't put in a tender based on the specs in the county archs brief, then you don't. as Kevin says, it is not constraint, it is pre-defined detailed specification.. and thus you are still self employed. You however have the choice to decide how much and how long it will take to do it... and adjust your costs accordingly...
