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 route for long-tail obligations where underwriters need to understand timing, cost estimates, contract wording and financial resilience.

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 decommissioning exposures

The obligation can arise from leases, planning agreements, infrastructure projects, energy assets or specialist equipment installations.

Site restoration or removal obligations.
End-of-life infrastructure or equipment commitments.
Planning, lease or contract security requirements.

What supports the submission

A clear submission should explain how the decommissioning cost has been calculated and what controls reduce the risk of a future call.

Cost estimate, timing and responsible party.
Contract or lease extracts and beneficiary details.
Financial accounts, ownership and project track record.
