Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Italian term or phrase: contratto di appalto
Innanzitutto, è necessario illustrare la differenza di contratto d’opera con il contratto di appalto. La differenza risiede nel fatto che mentre il primo è caratterizzato da un’attività del prestatore d’opera prettamente individuale (es. l’artigiano che gestisce il proprio lavoro individualmente), il secondo è caratterizzato da un’attività dello stesso organizzata con prevalente utilizzo di lavoratori subordinati.

Is this the difference between individual and group contracts? Is this working with freelancers (liberi professionisti) vs groups of dipendenti? So then how can I translate contratto di appalto? Maybe it's the time - it's been a long day - but I simply cannot figure this out.
Thanks

tender contract
Explanation:
tenders are awarded to companies who have employees to carry out the workload in the required time and manner. In Italy, anyway, tender bidders are normally companies with specialised employees.

agree  James (Jim) Davis: But not at all with the explanation. The winner of a building contract may easily hire self employed persons and have no employees. A main contractor could sub contract all the work out on a building project and do no work directly, they often do.

  -> Thanks, Jim. Tenders are normally for large works, and to win atender, the bidder has to prove that he has the necessary people, means etc. to do the job, and you need employees . A self-employed person can't bid for a building contract.
agree  pupus: Se tu non dovessi fare il paragone con il "contratto d'opera", opterei per "contract" e basta, ma in questo caso forse è meglio usare "tender contract"

contract


Explanation:
Il tender contract traduce sia offerta formale che capitolato di appalto:
http://images.to.camcom.it/f/IniziativeEstero/As/Aspetti_leg...

e in questo sito anche gara d'appalto:
http://www.aisge.it/board_of_directors/board_15_10-dicembre-...

Quì si parla di contratto di appalto che tecnicamente viene tradotto semplicemente con contract:
"Appalto: contratto mediante il quale una parte (l'appaltatore) assume l'incarico, con l'organizzazione dei mezzi necessari e con gestione a proprio rischio, del compimento di un'opera e di un servizio a favore di un altro soggetto (il committente) , in cambio di un corrispettivo in denaro= CONTRACT

Notes to answerer
Asker: This would have been my choice except for the fact that there is also that "contratto d'opera" in the sentence. Thanks for your help

agreement (contract) to subcontract /with the use of subcontractors


Explanation:
Maybe in this context tender is a little too grand/official ? If it talks about builders just taking on other workers.
