Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks! no offence taken. In most of the contracts I have looked at the terms 'Sponsor' and 'Institution' are used and I just wondered if it was acceptable to use these!

Outsourcee and outsourcer

Explanation:
The choice of words for 受託者 and 委託者 depends on the context and on what is being entrusted and undertaken, because the words in English corresponding to these two Japanese words could be widely different in each case. Since this is a contract, these two words would be appearing a large number of times and in each clause or section, you have also the option of using their actual names or their abbreviations, such as - "Company A shall entrust all clinical testing to Laboratory X", etc Since the task being entrusted and undertaken is clinical testing, it seems best to use "Outsourcee and Outsourcer".
