Retention circumstances
Retention is applied within our subcontracts, when the contract with our customer includes retention. Ie Octavius apply back to back contractual principles
Retention parity policy
Retention clauses are back to back with the main customer contract and therefore are no more onerous than those applied to Octavius
Retention release
The subcontractor must contact the commercial team who will confirm whether the subcontractor has or has not met the criteria for retention release detailed within the contract. If they have not met the criteria the commercial team will advise on what steps are required to trigger retention release. If they have met the criteria for retention release, they will ask the subcontractor to submit an application for payment for retention release to go through the webcontractor online portal in the usual way. Upon submission this will go through the usual approval processes and payment will be made on a weekly BACS payment run alongside all other payments to the supply chain.

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.
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
