Deleting an Accepted Subcontract

There are certain instances in which you may need to delete a subcontract linked to your project. Since Textura holds legal documents and facilitates Subcontractor payment applications, Project Managers can only delete a confirmed subcontract after meeting the following criteria:

The Subcontractor who accepted the subcontract was not included in any periods
There are no legal documents uploaded for the subcontract; if there are any documents, you will need to delete them from the Edit Document Status page
Note: In order to delete a document, you must change the document status to Note Received.
The Subcontractor did not receive any payments through TPM.

As long as the subcontract fits the above criteria, a user with a Project Manager role can delete the subcontract from the Contract Maintenance page.

Accidentally assign a subcontract to an incorrect Subcontractor organisation and the Subcontractor has not yet accepted project participation? You can reassign the subcontract instead.

To delete an accepted subcontract:

Navigate to the Variations Page
- From the My Contract menu at the top of any project page, select the My Variations link to go to the My Variations tab of the Variations page.
- From the Subcontracts menu at the top of any project page, select the Subcontract Variation link to go to the Subcontract Variations tab of the Variations page. This option is only available if you are a Prime Subcontractor with at least one on-system Sub-Tier Subcontractor.

Create a negative variation to bring the subcontract value to zero.

If your subcontract meets the criteria listed above, a Delete Subcontract button displays. Select the Delete Subcontract button.
A Delete Subcontract dialogue box displays.
In the dialogue box, select a reason for deleting a subcontract from the drop-down list. This is a mandatory step and you cannot delete a subcontract without selecting an option.

- If the you or the Subcontractor already paid the usage fees for the subcontract, a refund of these fees will occur in 5-7 business days
