Document background
The Letter of Commitment Subcontractor is a critical document in Belgian business practice, particularly when engaging subcontractors for specific project components or specialized services. This document type is used when a formal commitment is needed before finalizing a full subcontract, or for smaller scope engagements where a full contract may not be necessary. Under Belgian law, such letters must address specific regulatory requirements including social security compliance, workplace safety, and liability provisions. The document typically precedes or accompanies the main subcontract documentation and needs to align with both Belgian domestic law and applicable EU regulations. It's particularly important in situations where work needs to commence quickly while maintaining legal compliance, or where the main contractor needs to demonstrate committed subcontractor capacity for larger project bids.
