New contract - absense approval - IR35?

[imightbewrong]

Maybe, but this is a huge company (300K+ employees) with thousands of contractors - not sure they would be that interested in dealing with every individual invoice etc when they pay CP £££ to look after it for them. I know quite a few there and they are all CP.

Anyway, CP have said they are 'open' to amendments so we'll see.

[Not So Wise]

doesn't make sense to me either. I've found that std. computer people contracts are generally within IR35 nowadays.

God that means it only took them about 10 years to start making IR35 compliant contacts...now they would just have to start making fair contacts and they might just raise a level or two on my books from “I don’t care how good role sounds not applying for it though them” to just “never trust an agent”

Anyway, CP have said they are 'open' to amendments so we'll see.

Only believe that when i see it..and then i would have to poke it a few times.. certain agency’s with "computer" in their names are well known for one sided, ir35 unfriendly, non-negotiable contracts

Open to amendments

Of course they are. They've got their privileged sole supplier status by telling their client they can get them any contractor for any purpose they want with no effort on their part. Now the client have found you, obviously better than any of Computer People's offerings, without any help from them, and now they are starting to look more like a barrier than a facilitator. They are going to take the path of least resistance: they'll either give you the contract you want (or possibly have you assassinated)
