The question for you, then, is this the only game in town? Do you really need the money? Family, kids, debt, loans , etc if so, then take the FTC, it will give you stability for 9 months as you said.
In contracting, IMHO, it very rare that you can get a promotion anyway. If others have a different career experience then they can relate it.
What is it do you want to achieve in a career?
Technical - software engineer, senior software engineer, technical lead / architect
Non-technical: business analyst, project manager, program director, PMO
and some people don't care about powers and big company job titles and simply exclaim, "just give me the money!"
If I imagine myself in the shoes of Client Co, then 1) I am feeling hurt, because I lost a resource previously, my critical project is delayed and could be again 2) I want hedge the risk of the next person I hire in with this FTC (you) regardless of notice period and 3) I want to save money still £12K on the new person expenditure (you) just in case my fingers are burned again.
Good luck in your decisions!
