Case Study
Contractor’s All Risks
Client Sector & Size
Client Industry: Mechanical & Engineering
Annual Turnover: £24m with approximately 87 employees
Output Achieved by UK & Global
- 40% Reduction in the annual Contractor’s All Risks premium after a detailed evaluation of the nature of the contracts in which the client is involved
- UK & Global was able to establish that the majority of Contract Works insurance cover was already arranged by the Main Contractors with whom the client worked
- Effectively the client had ‘Dual Insurance’ in place for 90% of the time prior to the evaluation
Key to the success was the time invested by the client in the research, and provision, of the relevant Data
Client Requirement
The Client provides Design, Installation and Maintenance of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems.
- The vast majority of the contracts undertaken by the client were as a Sub-Contractor to the Main Contractor
- As the Client holds its own Contract Works Insurance we established that there was a lack of clarity over which Party insures Contract Works, i.e. is it the Main Contractor or the client?
- It was therefore uncertain as to whether Dual Insurance may be in place
UK & Global Solution
- We advised the client to undertake a review of all of its contracts over the previous 12 months in order to establish what % of contracts undertaken were on a Sub-Contract basis
- In addition, we asked the client to provide a copy of its terms and conditions, which are issued to Main Contractors, in relation to the provision of Contract Works Insurance
Outcome & Benefit to the Client
- It was established that 90% of contracts were undertaken on a Sub-Contract basis
- UK & Global gained agreement from the client’s Contract Works Insurer to re-rate the Contracts Works premium as the Main Contractor was providing the relevant Insurance for 90% of the client’s activities
- The client amended its terms and conditions which created greater clarity in relation to the provision of Contract Works Insurance
- The annual Contract Works Insurance premium was reduced by 40%
