Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 5 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features conditional validation: if “Is the subcontractor VAT registered?” is Yes, “VAT number” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features advanced show logic: if “What is being supplied?” is Labour and materials, the form dynamically exposes “Materials being supplied”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Does the subcontractor employ anyone on this job?” is Yes, “Employer's liability insurance certificate” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Is a retention held?” is Yes, “Retention percentage” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Does the work require a risk assessment?” is Yes, “Risk assessment and method statement” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 5 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
Bringing a subcontractor onto a job means taking on their paperwork as well as their labour. This form collects both halves at once. The subcontractor gives their legal and trading name, registered address, company or tax number, VAT status and the named person responsible for the work on site. The engagement itself is described precisely: the main contract or project it sits under, the works package, the site address, the start and finish dates, and whether they are supplying labour only or labour and materials. Rates are captured in a form your finance team can use directly — day rate or price for the package, currency, retention percentage, payment window and the invoicing route. Compliance is where most onboarding stalls, so evidence is requested inline: public liability and employer's liability insurance with insurer, cover level and expiry date, relevant trade qualifications or cards, a right-to-work confirmation and, where the work calls for it, a risk assessment and method statement upload. Health and safety questions confirm who provides equipment and PPE and who supervises. The subcontractor signs the declaration confirming the information is accurate and current, and every certificate is stored against the submission for the audit that eventually asks for it.

Frequently asked questions
Does it collect insurance certificates?
Yes — insurer, cover level and expiry date are structured answers, and the certificate itself uploads with the submission.
What if the subcontractor has no employees?
Answering no hides the employer's liability upload, so sole traders are not asked for evidence they cannot provide.
Can I track cover that is about to lapse?
Expiry dates are date answers, so you can sort or filter submissions by them in the submissions table.
Is retention supported?
Answer that a retention is held and the percentage question becomes required.
