Our Difference

We assist where other providers simply can't

When a bank, insurer or conventional broker has said no — on wording, on track record, or on the contract itself — we're often still able to say yes. We're based in the UK, but our reach is genuinely global, and it includes guarantor partnerships you won't find anywhere else. That depth of access gives us the flexibility to structure terms around your contract, rather than turn you away from it.

Rather talk it through first?

Performance Bond Wording We Place

On Demand Performance Bonds

Pays out as soon as a valid request is made, without needing to prove anything went wrong first. Often used on international and publicly funded contracts.

Conditional Performance Bonds

Pays out only once it's actually shown that the contractor failed to deliver. The more traditional approach in the UK market, and still common on JCT and NEC4 contracts.

All Types Of Bond Wording

Every Performance Bond Wording We Can Structure

  • On Demand — pays out on request, with nothing needing to be proven first
  • Conditional — only pays out once it's shown something actually went wrong
  • Adjudication-Linked — tied to the outcome of a formal dispute process, rather than a simple request
  • NEC4 / JCT Standard Wordings — matched clause for clause to your specific contract form
  • Bid / Tender Bonds — security put up before you're even awarded the contract
  • Bespoke Wording — anything project-specific, negotiated directly with the guarantor

Performance Bond FAQs

What is a performance bond under NEC4 or JCT?

A performance bond is a guarantee, usually issued by an insurer or surety, that compensates the employer if a contractor fails to perform its obligations under the building contract. NEC4 contracts typically call for one under Option X4, while JCT contracts reference it directly in the contract particulars — the bond wording is drafted to match whichever form applies.

What's the difference between an on demand and a conditional performance bond?

An on demand bond is payable on the beneficiary's first written demand, with no need to prove default. A conditional bond — the more traditional approach in the UK market — is only payable once default has actually been established against the contractor.

Can Solidum Global place a performance bond when my usual provider has declined?

Often, yes. We're UK based, but our guarantor network reaches almost every market worldwide, including partnerships that are exclusive to us. So a decline elsewhere doesn't necessarily mean the bond can't be placed.

How quickly can a UK performance bond be arranged?

Typical response time is 24–48 hours from a completed enquiry, though this depends on the complexity of the wording required and the contract value.
