You have two running Contracts here. You are responsible for one, and very much affected by the other.
Depending on your experience and the experience of your main Contractor, you need to make sure that the Main Contractor is reporting all his delays in a timely manner withing 28 days from the start of the event, and reporting the detailed cost within 42 days (or as approved by the Engineer). Basically, the Main Contractor should have enough support and good record keeping to complete the FIDIC requirements.
On the other hand, you have your own Contract and you need to make sure that you read all the clauses carefully and check how it allows you to submit claims and get approval from the Main Contractor.
