Retention parity policy
Retention is applied to contracts at a rate of between 3% and 5%, in line withstandard industry practice. Where RCG is appointed the level and terms ofretention applied downstream shall be no more onerous than those applied to RCGunder the corresponding upstream contract.
This ensures that:
retention percentages remain proportionate and consistent across the project;
retention release mechanisms align with the relevant contract provisions; and
contractors are not subject to retention terms that exceed those imposed on RCG for the same works.
Retention shall be reduced and released in accordance with the applicable contractfollowing Practical Completion and at the conclusion of the Defects Liability Period,subject to satisfactory completion of the works and making good of defects.

Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
We do not have standard payment terms, instead they range from immediate paymentdue,
to 60 days. The longer 60 day credit terms are for plant hire which are
generally high volume, low value invoices. Payment terms are agreed with
suppliers as part of contract negotiations. The most frequently used payment
terms in the reporting period were 30 days.
Suppliers are paid on a weekly basis by BACS - Dispute resolution process
We are committed to resolving any disputed invoices quickly. We perform monthly purchase ledger reconciliations to highlight any invoices which are not on the ledger and to request these from suppliers. Separately, we also actively pursueg oods received notes and service reports from suppliers. However, where it is not possible to reach agreement, a number of potential dispute resolution methods (for example, mediation, adjudication, expert determination, litigation and / or arbitration) may be used.

The supplier link is exact, but the award remains buyer-published procurement data. BritDB requires the GB-COH identifier supplied in the Contracts Finder OCDS release and does not infer suppliers from similar names.

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.
08 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.
09 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.
10 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.
