Performance, retention and advance payment bonds Contract wording reviewed before market approach Specialist Lloyd's and company market routes

Specialist surety placement starts with a clear submission

A construction-focused route for JCT, NEC, principal-contractor, public-sector and project security requirements.

We will ask for enough information to understand the contract, beneficiary, amount, timing and financial evidence before approaching suitable specialist markets. Availability is always subject to underwriting and accepted wording.

Common construction bond requirements

Bond requests can appear at tender, contract award, advance payment, retention release or defects stages. The right route depends on the contract wording and the financial profile of the contractor.

Performance bonds linked to completion obligations.
Advance payment bonds for upfront funding.
Retention or maintenance bonds linked to defects periods.

Construction evidence to prepare

A construction surety submission should show more than turnover. It should explain the project, the contractor's experience, subcontractor dependency and the financial capacity behind the obligation.

JCT, NEC or project contract extracts.
Bond wording, amount, duration and beneficiary.
Relevant completed projects and current work in progress.
