Actuate UK, welcomes Government’s intention to act on its proposed reforms on late payments and take legislative measures to ban the use of retentions in construction contracts. Actuate UK and its members have been calling for a legislative change to stop the payment abuse of cash retentions in construction.

Actuate UK welcomes Government consultation on retentions & late payments

31 July 2025

Engineering services alliance, Actuate UK, welcomes the new Government consultation on reforming cash retentions and taking legislative measures against late payments to small businesses, as part of the new Small Business Plan. Withholding retentions across the supply chain has been an outdated practice which disproportionally impacts the cashflow of small businesses across the construction. Actuate UK and its members will now widely consult and submit a response supporting a solution that is fair, enforceable and sustainable.
