I'm currently in the middle of a 6th month contract, and my existing contract clearly states that I'm able to sub-contract my existing contract to someone else. As long as that person is judged by the client to be competent and able to complete the task, then the request to subcontract will be reasonably considered.
I've been offered a 2nd contract, and have a contact who is available and would be perfectly suited to perform the rest of my existing contract.
Does anyone have any advice on how to approach this situation? Is the clause in the contract simply there to avoid IR35, or does the client have to allow me to subcontract the role if the person is competent. If they refuse to let me subcontract the role, is there any legal basis for enforcing this?
