You're right. The same that an agency can't tell whether you have gone back without involving them, apart from asking the client and/or contractor every so often where you are working.

Have a look at your own contract with the agency. It will have a clause specifically to stop you from doing it. Make sure it is in the contract you give to the subby.

My Ltd has a contract with my agent/client. I am hiring a subcontractor (another Ltd, they are outside the UK ) to perform part of the work.

I don’t have a contract yet with the subcontractor nor I have introduced him to the client/agent.

I am almost in the position of an agent here.

How do I protect myself from the subcontractor going direct with the client down the road ?
