Retention circumstances
Retention is effectively used as a means of financial security to ensure/encourage the Contractor to return during the Rectification Period to correct any defects due to materials, goods or workmanship not in accordance with this Contract (Contract Particulars cl. 4.4 and Conditions cls. 2.10, 6.73 & 29 refer particularly). This process is managed by the Contract Administrator e.g., Six Property Consulting Ltd. The retention is deducted at progress/monthly valuations of the Works and the associated certified payments - this is done at the stated % rates in Contract Particulars cl. 4.4
As a general principle, retention is held on Contracts with value in excess £100,000. This is however subject to project-by-project risk assessment, factoring in scope and nature of the Works e.g., unknown elements, complex logistics, live environment etc.
The standard Contract only applies retention on the Works i.e., against the Contractor. The Works Contract sets out other recourse mechanisms for the Contractor in event of default by the Client/Employer.
Money is released on basis of satisfactory sign off and an issue of a certificate for payment under JCT terms where appropriate.

Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
We have 30 days standard payment terms.
- Dispute resolution process
In all instances we seek to communicate with suppliers and resolve any issues to mutual satisfaction in a professional manner. Initially, complaints are dealt with either by individual schools or by the Central Finance Team. Where they cannot be resolved locally, they are escalated either to the CFO, COO or Operations Director. We also follow dispute terms in contracts where applicable.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
06 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
07 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
08 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
09 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
10 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
