Carillion is demanding that subcontractors formerly employed by Mowlem comply with controversial accreditation and payment terms or they will be axed from its supply chain.

In a move that has angered subcontractors, the firm has sent a letter to companies that worked for Mowlem telling them that they must accept its policies by the end of next month. These involve:

Registration with the National Britannia Safe Contractor accreditation scheme, at a cost of between 拢100 and 拢500 a year

Mandatory acceptance of a 65-day payment period, double the industry average.The letter from Carillion says:

鈥淚f you are unable to accept these terms we will need to review the business that you do with our group.鈥�

Although several contractors ask subcontractors to comply with safety accreditation schemes, it is understood to be rare for a contractor to demand compliance with one scheme because of the costs involved in meeting different requirements for different contractors.

The 65-day payment period was revealed in 好色先生TV in June as Carillion standard practice.
