Several times over my contracting career, I have been asked my opinion of another contractor by clientco.
If they are asking that question, then they must have concerns. I give an honest answer about their technical abilities, and so far they've always been right to question.
I'm in a niche market and have many years experience in my area. I am honest on my CV and I work hard.
I expect other contractors to do the same - unless of course there's nothing to do!I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

It's a tricky one. Someone might be taking you down with them, but you might be putting your own head on the block if you turn states evidence.
I had this on my very first contract, guy was rubbish.
I get round it by writing anonymous stuff on the bog walls. This guy was hauled into the PM's office and faced directly with the allegations
'Is it true you are a stinky-bum plop plop pants ?'
He didnt really have an answer, so they booted him out, damn freeloader
