We provide essential support, guidance, advice and training in Surety Bonds to empower Employer Agents so they can safeguard Housing Associations and support Contractors during the procurement process.

It is now necessary within a JCT Contract for an Employer to indicate whether they require a Performance Bond or not. It’s also more important than ever that Employer Agents can advise and work with Housing Associations to ensure they’re sufficiently protected.

We are very aware that there is an increasing number of contractors stating difficulty in securing Performance Bonds. Our 100% track record, however, allows us to offer solutions for contractors, regardless of their financial strength or trading history.

At the HBA, we support all registered Employer Agents with compiling/registering bond claims and calculating bond fee’s on behalf of your clients.

    Surety Bond Advice and Tips

    Collaborate closely with us to establish a project pipeline spanning three, five, and ten years, ensuring that the necessary surety bond coverage is obtained.

    Ensure your clients have the necessary bonding cover in place.

    Ensure the appropriate due diligence is undertaken when choosing the right Surety Provider and Broker. We can provide advice on the credibility of all parties involved and ensure that in a worst-case scenario you understand how to serve on the Surety Provider to recover funds. This is your obligation as the Employer Agent to ensure the monies can be collected.

    Ensure any forthcoming claim is done right and adheres to pre-construction protocol, to allow for a simple and effective obtaining of monies.

    Establish a robust surety plan.
