Go limited
Get a new supplier agreement contract - basically says you'll invoice them they'll pay you and no-one will tell any secrets to nasty people. No definition of activity or anything - this means
a) There is no contract of work, only a contract of understanding of the terms of business should the parties work together in the future
b) No guarantee of work from the contract alone hence no IR35
And most importantly get your work given to you via Purchase Orders and not contracts. You can't have mutality of obligation (MOO) if all that is in place is a contract of understanding and a purchase order enabling you to invoice up to a certain amount.
FInally this builds up a credit record as a supplier to a business (not an agency) whcih should you ever want credit in the future is invaluable.
You are in a position which most of the guys on this board would kill for don't let it slip you by. If you go direct and ltd if they need more resource then you can supply it as you are already on the purchasing system.
