Retention Guarantees
A retention guarantee is provided by an EPC contractor in favour of the owner or by a subcontractor/key component supplier in favour of the EPC contractor. A retention guarantee, similar to a performance guarantee, protects the owner from losses if the contractor fails to fulfil his contractual obligations. When using a retention guarantee, the client agrees to pay the amounts which would otherwise have been held as retention, and instead a guarantee is provided to secure the amount that would have been retained. Typically, the retention guarantees are often issued according to an industry standard. The wording may therefore differ depending on which country you want the bond to be issued.
