[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A\u00a0Named<\/strong> subcontractor<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>is effectively the same as a domestic subcontractor and is a subcontractor who contracts with the main contractor after being selected by him from a list of approved contractors named by the client, to carry out elements of the works. A named subcontractor is essentially employed by the main contractor and not the client, even though they were initially referred into the contract by the client.<\/p>\n

Naming a subcontractor provides\u00a0the client with more\u00a0control to the selection of a subcontractor by the main contractor, while still leaving them with the element of choice and the responsibility of monitoring their performance.<\/p>\n

This is seen as a better alternative to nominating sub-contractors, especially since some forms of contract such as the JCT no longer have the provision of nominated sub-contractors.<\/p>\n
