What would it say in the contract? In the unlikely event that HMRC would conduct an IR35 investigation they will only be able to check the contract and interview you.
I wouldn't turn down the offer of income. You can work on the project, which hasn't yet been approved.I'm alright JackComment

Chance of QDOS/IPSE losing an investigation ~1 in 1000 (anecdotally I believe they've lost only a handful of over 4000 investigations/cases between them)
Chance of QDOS TLC35 not paying out after losing an investigation, given it would be their first opportunity to demonstrate and advertise that they will ~ 1 in 100?
Getting down to some pretty small numbers, but you're willing to throw away hundreds/thousands of pounds of guaranteed income "just in case" ?! Play the odds!Comment

Full credit for attention to detail OP. But I can't help thinking you'd be better applying your nervous energy to something else.‘His body, his mind and his soul are his capital, and his task in life is to invest it favourably to make a profit of himself.’ (Erich Fromm, ‘The Sane Society’, Routledge, 1991, p.138)Comment
