Q: What about public liability insurance?

Under EEBS Contract of Services it has always been a requirement (see clause 7) that subcontractors insure themselves with Public Liability Insurance. Consequently, you must provide proof that you have insurance in place. There are two options available to you:

Option 1) Obtain your own policy through the insurance market, and provide EEBS with a copy of your policy, or

Option 2) If proof of the above is not submitted then you will be covered by EEBS contingent Public Liability Insurance that covers EEBS own position, should legal liability exposure that could fall on EEBS Ltd arising from the negligence of a sub-contractor, (you) the sub-contractor will be covered by EEBS policy, with the cost of our cover being passed on to (you) the sub-contractor, at a rate of (currently) £4.00 a week.

Please note: Whilst EEBS policy provides you with £5m of cover, you need to be aware that there is a £250 excess on any claim that you make under this policy for which you are liable. We are aware that there are better value options available for sub-contractors, so feel free to browse the market place for the best options.
