So what do you do ? All of this only makes sense if they investigate you and don't forget they then have to win. That is the risk you need to balance.
This is the guidance from the government. Ever heard of a company having a website designed where they had no control over what it looked like or what it did ?
"Paul attends the interview where he meets the company directors who tell Paul they want him to design, build and place onto the internet, a new website for their business which will advertise and sell their products online. Discussions are held during which time Paul shows the directors his portfolio and websites he has previously created. The directors are impressed and Paul is offered the engagement, which he accepts. The Directors then tell Paul he has a completely free role to design and build the website as he sees fit without anyone being able to intervene to instruct Paul what the website must look like or how it must be created. The only specific requirement placed on Paul is that the new website is completed, placed on line and activated before his engagement ends. "
