One of my clients is only interested in work where there is an agreed SoW.
Which suits me fine as I can bat back the usual tulipe as out of scope.
They're the most clued up but I see it becoming more common.

Hasn't been the wipeout some expected (I haven't had to take an inside contract for example) but it remains to be see what the HMRC's policing of it will be like. A few high profile cases could make clients take a safety first approach.
That said I think some clients like the fact they have resource doing work that isn't employed by them and can be 'managed' (for the want of a better word) differently from permanent employees and will fairly fiercely guard anything that keeps it that way.

You've picked a client that's got a clue and that's that. Plenty of them around. No fightbacks going on.
I have to say sending in a substitute is extremely rare so having two doing it would be raising my suspicions. Are they really doing it properly for the right reasons and is a true substitute to the client or are they both fudging the process just for evidence to say they've done it. Using buddies or even each other or something daft. Sounds highly unusual that.
As I asked in the OP is this a rarity or signs of more clients getting clued up and the start of a client led fight back.

Depends on the company.
If contractors stood together and refused Inside work, there'd be a lot more Outside to go around.
I'm doing my bit - are you?
