The problem
A subcontractor worth more than £250K was underperforming, putting cost and delivery at risk.
What was done
- Identify the problem
The causes of the underperformance were diagnosed.
- Build the options
Options for fixing it were set out for decision.
- Drive the fix
The chosen fix, an operational restructuring, was driven through to resolution.

Why this matters for your business
One underperforming contract can cost more than every small leak put together. When a supplier or subcontractor delivers less than you pay for, the contract usually says what you are owed and how to put it right.
Signs it could apply to you
- One supplier or subcontractor causes most of your problems
- You are paying the full rate for work that is late or below standard
- Variations and extra charges keep appearing
- You are not sure what the contract lets you claim
How we would check it: One contract that is costing too much: we compare the contract terms with what you were billed and set out what the contract says you are owed.
