Huvudman

Swedish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) pharmaceuticals
I can see that there are other posts for Huvudman here, but the context is different.

I am translating a contract (Uppdragsavtal). The parties are Uppdragstagaren and Huvudman.

What is Huvudman here?

Ersättning för utgifter utges enligt Huvudmannens kollektivavtal om resor och traktamente och ska fortlöpande faktureras och ersättas av XXX.

I det fall ingen Huvudman finns utgår ersättning för resor och traktamente enligt Skattemyndighetens regler för avdragsgilla belopp.
Proposed translations (English)

Principal

I would use "Principal". It is equivalent to the "uppdragsgivaren" as opposed the "uppdragstagaren".

If the word given were "uppdragsgivare", I would indeed use "Client", but semantically I think "Huvudman" is better rendered by "Principal".

chief outsourcing officer

If uppdragsavtal is outsourcing then, inductively, huvudman is a lead outsourcer.

Query: whether principal or 'responsible authority' / contracting agency (ringleader; Gullberg!) works with a translaiton of 'I det fall ingen Huvudman finns, utgår ersättning för resor och traktamente '... : if there is no Chief Outsourcng Officer / Manager/ Lead, then the allowance for.. shall be payable...
Example sentence:

IATE: sv uppdragsavtal en outsourcing

An outsourcing manager should assess the work done and every performance to let the hiring company see the whole picture.

Peer comment(s):

disagree SafeTex : A chief outsourcing officer is very unlikely to be governed by or come under a collective agreement whereas a Principal or Client is.
