Contractor Surety

Companies in the construction and engineering industries will often need to provide their clients with performance bonds and other third-party guarantees to ensure contractual obligations are met.

The ability to provide such bonds and guarantees can be a critical differentiator when bidding for contracts, and failure to provide a bond can ultimately lead to disqualification from the bidding process.

Marsh’s Surety practice has the experience, expertise and insurance market relationships to ensure clients have sufficient bonding capacity at competitive terms.

Types of Bond

  • Performance
  • Advance payment/ payment
  • Retention
  • Maintenance
  • Bid/tender

Why use the insurance market for bonds instead of banks?

Bonds can be provided by banks or insurance companies. Banks will only provide unconditional on-demand bonds which are independent instruments and do not provide any protection of the underlying contract conditions. Using banks for the provision of bonds will also impact working capital headroom.
